UNSPSC 85722928: Removal of internal fixation device from right hip joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right hip joint, external 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 0SP9X4Z

UNSPSC 85722928 Removal of internal fixation device from right hip joint, external approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The source records no recent opportunities genuinely soliciting orthopedic surgical procedures or device-removal services under this code. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or the procedural scope the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests that state and local agencies may be tagging medical and healthcare administrative services with clinical procedure codes as a tagging artifact or classification error rather than intentionally procuring orthopedic surgical removal services through public contract. The issuing bodies in the recent record — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are soliciting benefit administration, provider networks, occupational health screening, and staffing services. No substantive recent state and local procurement activity under this code warrants pursuit at this time.
