This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right carpal 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 0RPQ45Z

UNSPSC 85714361 Removal of external fixation device from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code's abstract medical procedure designation does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the state and local market.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration and staffing services rather than surgical procedures. State and local buyers posting under this code are instead procuring independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No standout repeat buyers emerge from the sample. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated among larger metropolitan jurisdictions and state health or human services operations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural designation and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests this code receives sporadic or misaligned tagging and does not represent a meaningful procurement category for firms focused on orthopedic or surgical device removal services.
