This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal 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 0QPJ44Z

UNSPSC 85704250 Removal of internal fixation device from right fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the medical, occupational health, administrative, and staffing services appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. State and local governments are instead buying independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing through vendors posting under this code designation, indicating a significant categorical mismatch rather than procurement of surgical procedures themselves.

Recent activity spans diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health plan administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and center-of-excellence network management due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code's internal-fixation-device focus appears unrelated to the services actually being solicited, suggesting either a systematic tagging error in the underlying opportunities database or a collapse of orthopedic and surgical support services into a procedure-specific commodity designation.
