UNSPSC 85723819: Removal of external fixation device from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0SPF35Z

UNSPSC 85723819 Removal of external fixation device from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent clinical administrative services, occupational health programs, and healthcare contracting rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification in the state and local procurement systems or that this particular Commodity code does not drive meaningful procurement volume among state and local buyers.

The issuing bodies across these records span diverse jurisdiction types—city retirement offices, municipal health benefits administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems—but none of the solicitations directly procure the orthopedic surgical intervention the code describes. Without opportunities that track genuine demand for ankle fixation device removal or related orthopedic surgical services at the state and local level, this code does not present a clear procurement signal for business development targeting.
