This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right shoulder joint, 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 0RPJ34Z

UNSPSC 85712450 Removal of internal fixation device from right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted against it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—removal of internal fixation from the right shoulder via percutaneous approach—yet the opportunities tagged to this code instead cover medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities constitute the removal of internal fixation devices or match the procedural scope the code name implies.

The recent opportunities show no state or local government issuing bodies actually procuring the specific orthopedic service named in the code. Rather, the mismatch between code name and actual solicitation activity suggests either a cataloging error at the source or that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to broader medical administration and staffing categories. State and local buyers sourcing the actual removal of internal fixation devices from shoulder joints would typically do so through hospital or surgical center service contracts, which does not appear in the recent opportunity block. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
