UNSPSC 85704934: Removal of internal fixation device from left tarsal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left tarsal, external 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 0QPMX4Z

UNSPSC 85704934 Removal of internal fixation device from left tarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tarsal bone fixation removal. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source materials or that the code is being applied to healthcare service contracting broadly rather than to the specific surgical intervention its title describes. State and local governments are not actively soliciting for this procedure type under this code at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California) — a mix of county human resources, corrections, health departments, and municipal services divisions. Geographic spread covers the Southeast (Georgia), the Gulf Coast (Florida), and the West Coast (California). Because the code itself does not match the work being bought, the opportunities do not signal meaningful demand for tarsal fixation removal services or related orthopedic procurement.
