UNSPSC 85704274: Removal of external fixation device from left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left femoral shaft, 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 0QP945Z

UNSPSC 85704274, Removal of external fixation device from left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procedure's scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations address occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for general employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of external fixation devices or procedural orthopedic work. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying state and local procurement records or that this code is not currently being used by issuing bodies to solicit work that matches its defined scope.

The recent opportunities are distributed across multiple issuing bodies and states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These reflect a mix of city and county health administration, state transportation, and county health systems, but none of the posted work reflects the orthopedic surgical device or procedure-removal content that the code nominally covers. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but this distribution does not signal meaningful activity within the code's actual scope.
