This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right 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 0QP844Z

UNSPSC 85704280 Removal of internal fixation device from right femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which span disability medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve the removal of internal fixation devices or percutaneous endoscopic orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local opportunity system or use of the code as a catch-all for health services that do not map cleanly to its defined procedure-level scope.

No representative orthopedic surgical procedure solicitations appear in the recent state and local opportunities under this code. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit individual surgical procedures through open RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB; instead, they contract with health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, or managed care networks that bundle procedural services under broader medical services agreements or capitated health plans. Firms pursuing work in state and local healthcare procurement should monitor broader health services codes and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts, counties, cities, and state health departments rather than procedure-specific UNSPSC commodity codes in the 85700000 range.
