UNSPSC 85703759: Removal of external fixation device from right tibia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right tibia, 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 0QPG35Z

UNSPSC 85703759 Removal of external fixation device from right tibia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—show no connection to orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation device removal. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit comprehensive healthcare management services, benefit administration, and clinical leadership roles rather than specific surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code has been repurposed to classify broader health service categories that do not map to the nominal orthopedic commodity.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county health authorities (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California), local fire departments (Santa Monica), and county benefits consortiums. Geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Without verifiable recent procurement activity that actually targets external fixation device removal or related orthopedic supplies and services, this code shows little relevant procurement signal for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in surgical device or orthopedic service categories.
