This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left hip 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 0SPB45Z

UNSPSC 85724143 Removal of external fixation device from left hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect surgical device removal or orthopedic procedural work; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical care carve-outs for municipal employee and youth detention populations. The code's abstractly specific procedural title does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag, suggesting either a data-entry mismatch or that the code is being used as a catch-all for broader healthcare service procurement outside its intended commodity scope.

The recent opportunities across this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—county boards of commissioners and health systems, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, and county probation departments—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity under this code warrants skepticism; the opportunities tagged here are healthcare administration and staffing services, not the removal of orthopedic fixation devices, and bidders should verify code applicability with the issuing body before committing resources.
