UNSPSC 85702003: Removal of bone growth stimulator from lower bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of bone growth stimulator from lower bone, 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 0QPY4MZ

UNSPSC 85702003 Removal of bone growth stimulator from lower bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 — including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara) — are healthcare administration, occupational health, benefits management, and staffing services unrelated to orthopedic surgical device removal. The code appears to be a systematic or vendor-side classification misapplication rather than a reflection of genuine procurement need in the commodity's stated clinical area.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none of the opportunities target the specific procedure named in the code. No representative solicitation demonstrates demand for bone growth stimulator removal services or related orthopedic implant extraction work. Absence of activity in this Commodity code suggests either very limited state and local spending on this particular procedure, exclusive reliance on federal Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement pathways outside competitive procurement, or consistent miscoding of related services. Firms pursuing orthopedic device or implant-removal contracting should confirm actual UNSPSC alignment with issuing bodies before submitting proposals, as this code does not surface actionable state and local opportunities in its stated domain.
