This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left acetabulum, percutaneous 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 0QP534Z

UNSPSC 85701408 Removal of internal fixation device from left acetabulum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical orthopedic surgical scope and the state and local procurement activity being tracked under it. The recent opportunities posted to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—do not involve orthopedic surgery, internal fixation devices, or acetabular procedures. The code appears to be a medical taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have applied to broad healthcare service solicitations without specificity to the procedure named.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), but the opportunities themselves fall outside the scope of the code's nominal definition. None of the representative recent solicitations—Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (posted April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's MHSA peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025, with $580,000 total funding), or Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director services (due October 16, 2025)—involve the removal of orthopedic hardware. The code in its current application to these opportunities does not reflect genuine procurement activity in the medical device or orthopedic surgery domain and should not be relied upon to identify relevant state and local contracting opportunities in that specialty.
