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 shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, specialty medical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of external fixation devices or match the code's procedural scope. State and local procurement offices do not appear to solicit orthopedic surgical procedures as discrete line items under this taxonomy; the mismatch suggests the code was applied to opportunities in error or that issuing bodies are using codes inconsistently when tagging health services contracts.

The opportunities present span different customer types — city retirement boards (Phoenix), county boards and health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), state departments (Washington State Ferries), and city benefit administrators (Long Beach) — and are concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. None of the opportunities involve procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code.
