UNSPSC 85712720: Removal of internal fixation device from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right wrist joint, 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 0RPN44Z

UNSPSC 85712720 Removal of internal fixation device from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. State and local governments are not soliciting procurement under this surgical procedure code; the recent opportunities posted under this code designation do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device removal. Instead, the tagged opportunities span medical administration services (disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations for pension boards), health plan benefit management (Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit administration), occupational health surveillance, detention-facility emergency care, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the code's scope of surgical intervention on the wrist joint. This appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than active procurement under the intended commodity classification.

The geographic distribution of the posted opportunities reflects no concentration in any particular state or region: opportunities originate from Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, municipal health benefits offices, state transportation departments, county criminal justice agencies, and county health systems. No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer, and no recent opportunity substantively addresses removal of orthopedic fixation devices or related surgical services. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing work under this classification.
