UNSPSC 85702840: Removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal, 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 0QPN44Z

UNSPSC 85702840 Removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these represent removal of internal fixation devices or orthopedic procedural services. The issuing bodies span a mixed jurisdictional base: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefit administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the breadth of health administration and staffing services actually being procured suggests either systematic coding error or the code's use as a catch-all bucket for medical services that do not fit narrower taxonomy branches.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southwest and West: Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the systematic divergence between the code definition and solicitation content, this code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical device removal or orthopedic procedural procurement.
