This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left upper femur, open 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 0QP705Z

UNSPSC 85703284 Removal of external fixation device from left upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they reflect administrative health services, medical staffing, and benefits management. The code appears to be misapplied in the state and local system for services that fall outside orthopedic implant removal.

State and local procurement does not use this code for medical device removal or surgical procedures as currently tagged in available opportunities. If your firm pursues orthopedic device or implant services under state and local procurement, verify the actual UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before bidding, as this code does not surface relevant recent solicitations.
