UNSPSC 85704242: Removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, 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 0QPK4JZ

UNSPSC 85704242 Removal of synthetic substitute from left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or percutaneous endoscopic fibula procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for general healthcare procurement rather than a specific surgical service line.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, with work spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31). Without opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic implant removal procedures or procedural codes matched to the commodity definition, this code presents little actionable activity for vendors focused on surgical services or implant management.
