UNSPSC 85704249: Removal of external fixation device from right fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0QPJ45Z

UNSPSC 85704249 Removal of external fixation device from right fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare services procurement—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing—rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, juvenile justice agencies, and county boards of commissioners. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions classify healthcare service procurement.

Activity appears across multiple states and regions: Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach municipal government and Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across fourteen ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with two-year initial term and up to five one-year renewal options), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, with a five-year qualified-vendor pool structure). The code shows no recent activity grounded in orthopedic device removal procedures themselves; pursuit decisions should be based on whether the actual healthcare services work aligns with your firm's capabilities rather than on the code's nominal scope.
