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 0XP60YZ

UNSPSC 85771828 Removal of other device from right upper extremity, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations tracked under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical removal of devices from the upper extremity or any orthopedic or surgical procedure. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the actual procurement activity captured under it reflects comprehensive healthcare management, behavioral health services, and medical administration across correctional facilities, county employee health plans, and municipal emergency medical services.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County Georgia, Collier County Florida, and Monroe County Florida), a county health department (San Mateo County California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica California). Recent solicitations range from RFPs for comprehensive inmate medical services with annual costs near $1.1 million to pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 beneficiaries with historical annual spending of $8.7 million, to virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, to specialized peer support and fire department medical direction contracts. The geographic spread encompasses California, Florida, and Georgia. The mismatch between the code's formal definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this particular UNSPSC code is being misapplied by posting jurisdictions and does not represent a meaningful category for state and local procurement in surgical device removal.
