UNSPSC 85722553: Removal of external fixation device from left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left tarsal 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 0SPJ45Z

UNSPSC 85722553, Removal of external fixation device from left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which describe orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The code's nominal definition refers to a specific procedural intervention, yet the actual solicitations posted under it reflect health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, and medical staffing — categories unrelated to surgical procedure coding.

The geographic spread of opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, but the mismatch between the code label and the services being purchased signals either inconsistent classification by issuing bodies or a tagging error within the procurement database. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for opportunities genuinely aligned with orthopedic surgical procedure services and verify code assignment with issuing procurement offices before responding to opportunities classified under it.
