This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left toe phalanx, open 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 0QPR05Z

UNSPSC 85705108 Removal of external fixation device from left toe phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect no alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve external fixation device removal or toe phalanx procedures. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these solicitations, indicating a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work actually being procured.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated commodity definition and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services actually solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing procurement in the external fixation device or orthopedic surgical device categories.
