UNSPSC 85771722: Removal of other device from right upper extremity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from right upper extremity, external 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 0XP6XYZ

UNSPSC 85771722 Removal of other device from right upper extremity, external approach is a Commodity-level code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a medical procedure — the removal of an implanted or external device from an arm — but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code solicited inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. These opportunities involve comprehensive healthcare delivery, health plan administration, and medical oversight rather than the removal of upper-extremity devices as described in the code's name.

The source contains no recent solicitations that match the substance of the code as titled. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how the opportunities were tagged by the issuing jurisdictions or that the code's scope differs materially from how state and local procurement offices are using it. No activity directly supporting device removal, orthopedic procurement, surgical equipment, or related upper-extremity medical device supply or servicing appears in the recent records. Firms pursuing contracts in medical device removal, orthopedic implants, or external fixation systems will find limited decision value in this code's recent posting history.
