UNSPSC 85681321, Removal of bone growth stimulator from nasal bone, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted by state and local agencies. The posted solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities solicit the removal of bone growth stimulators or related surgical implant procedures.

The mismatch between the code designation and actual buying activity suggests that either the code was applied in error by the posting agencies or that state and local procurement does not currently use this commodity code for active contracting. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and a municipal health system across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none of the recent opportunities map to orthopedic implant removal services. Firms pursuing this code should verify that UNSPSC 85681321 aligns with their actual service lines before pursuing state and local opportunities, as the current signal from posted solicitations is null.
