UNSPSC 85704260: Removal of internal fixation device from right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0QPG44Z

UNSPSC 85704260, Removal of internal fixation device from right tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code used in clinical billing and medical taxonomy systems, not a product or service line that state and local governments procure through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—are healthcare administration, staffing, and managed-care services, not surgical device removals or orthopedic procedures. These solicitations reflect state and local demand for comprehensive medical service delivery and behavioral health support, not for the specific surgical intervention the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure designation and the actual scope of work in recent opportunities suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies or that the code taxonomy does not align with how state and local governments structure healthcare procurement. Firms pursuing healthcare services with state and local jurisdictions should verify the relevant UNSPSC classification with the issuing agency and monitor opportunities in healthcare management, pharmacy services, and medical staffing codes rather than relying on this surgical procedure code. Activity is geographically distributed across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), but the code itself is not a reliable vehicle for identifying procurement opportunities in healthcare services.
