UNSPSC 85723827: Removal of external fixation device from left knee joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left knee 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 0SPD35Z

UNSPSC 85723827 Removal of external fixation device from left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic surgical procedures, external fixation devices, or knee-joint intervention — the apparent subject matter of the code itself. The mismatch suggests either tagging misalignment in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are applying the code to broader healthcare service categories rather than discrete medical procedures.

The issuing bodies include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and cities — a cross-section of general-purpose and specialized government healthcare buyers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No single jurisdiction appears twice in the recent set. Because the opportunities are not substantively related to orthopedic device removal, this code does not present a coherent procurement stream for business development purposes.
