This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue 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 0QPK47Z

UNSPSC 85704243 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with orthopedic tissue removal. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code reflect medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefit administration services — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health examinations, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either miscoding in the state and local systems or the code's use as a catch-all for healthcare-related services outside its procedural intent. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and municipal employee-benefits departments (Long Beach).

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington State, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services to support approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's procurement of occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The frequency of state and local healthcare administration and occupational health procurement under this code suggests that vendors should verify actual code assignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities, as the procedural code description does not reflect the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited.
