UNSPSC 85724119: Removal of external fixation device from right ankle 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 right ankle 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 0SPF45Z

UNSPSC 85724119, Removal of external fixation device from right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative or occupational health services that fall outside the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of these opportunities in the state and local procurement system or a data alignment problem at the source level.

State and local agencies do procure medical and health services across retirement systems, municipal employee health plans, state ferry operations, juvenile detention facilities, and county health systems, but those services are being tagged to broader health services codes rather than to this specific surgical procedure category. No concrete procurement activity directly supporting orthopedic surgical devices, surgical supplies, or removal-procedure-specific contracting appears in the recent opportunities block. If your firm pursues opportunities in occupational health, employee benefits, or public sector medical administration, focus on the broader Family or Class codes under health services procurement — this Commodity code does not currently surface relevant state and local work.
