UNSPSC 85705320: Removal of internal fixation device from right tarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right tarsal, percutaneous 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 0QPL34Z

UNSPSC 85705320 Removal of internal fixation device from right tarsal, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The solicitations tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative and clinical support services that do not constitute orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The code appears to have been misapplied to health services contracting in which no actual tarsal fixation removal is being procured.

State and local health systems, county human resources divisions, and specialty pension boards are actively sourcing medical evaluation, occupational health monitoring, surgical benefit administration, and clinical staffing through RFP and RFQ vehicles, but these opportunities fall outside the orthopedic surgical device removal category. Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, due April 9, 2026), but none of these solicitations concern surgical device procurement. The code warrants review for reclassification accuracy or removal from active state and local procurement monitoring.
