UNSPSC 85695639: Removal of external fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PPM45Z

UNSPSC 85695639 Removal of external fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's specific clinical procedure designation—a surgical intervention for carpal bone fixation removal—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026, which address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration and general medical services procurement rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), but the work being solicited—medical record summarization for disability benefits, occupational medical surveillance, PBM services, specialty surgical networks, and temporary clinical staffing—does not correspond to the removal of external fixation devices. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the code's mismatch with actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code either captures miscategorized healthcare services procurement or sees minimal relevant state and local purchasing in its specific surgical domain.
