UNSPSC 85702972: Removal of internal fixation device from left fibula, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left fibula, external 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 0QPKX4Z

UNSPSC 85702972, Removal of internal fixation device from left fibula, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or the removal of internal fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect typical state and local purchasing patterns in surgical healthcare delivery.

The opportunities that have been tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county corrections facilities (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia), county human resources and health benefit programs (Collier County, Florida and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with response dates spanning February through May 2026. Because the posted solicitations do not address orthopedic surgical services or device removal procedures, the code does not currently signal active market demand for vendors in that specialty area. State and local procurement professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this code.
