UNSPSC 85691103 Removal of bone growth stimulator from upper bone, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical extraction procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no relationship to orthopedic surgery or device removal. The solicitations span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve bone growth stimulator removal or surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Monica Fire Department in California) and a county behavioral health services division (San Mateo County, California), and the mix reflects healthcare administration and managed care procurement rather than orthopedic or surgical services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this code is being used as a catchall for health services procurement where more precise codes are unavailable.

The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with the most recent activity clustered in Florida (two opportunities) and the posting dates spanning February through May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP 628 for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a medical director with EMS oversight responsibilities (due October 16, 2025). Given the consistent mismatch between code definition and solicitation content across all recent opportunities, this code does not represent actionable procurement activity for vendors in orthopedic surgery, medical devices, or surgical services — the opportunities reflect general health plan and healthcare administration services instead.
