UNSPSC 85723812: Removal of internal fixation device from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left ankle 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 0SPG34Z

UNSPSC 85723812 Removal of internal fixation device from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve removal of orthopedic fixation devices, and the code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a true reflection of what is being procured under the code at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Because the opportunities are unrelated to the code's ostensible scope, the code does not signal meaningful procurement activity for firms targeting orthopedic device removal services.
