UNSPSC 85704257: Removal of synthetic substitute from right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right tibia, 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 0QPG4JZ

UNSPSC 85704257, Removal of synthetic substitute from right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry employees, specialty healthcare services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or prosthetic device removal. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County). The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy (a specific surgical intervention) and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscategorization in the source data or that this code does not reflect how state and local health and human services entities tag their buying activity.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer under this code. The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations across the state with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for proposals (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears inactive for actual orthopedic surgical procurement at the state and local level.
