UNSPSC 85691532, Removal of internal fixation device from left glenoid cavity, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit surgical removal services or any work aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a pattern of procurement activity in occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests this code receives little relevant recent activity from state and local buyers, or these opportunities have been misclassified in the source data. No state or local government solicitations for the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code are present in the recent opportunities block.

The seven opportunities present in the source reflect health system and benefits administration purchasing across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies rather than orthopedic surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is soliciting independent medical evaluations for disability benefits; the City of Long Beach (California) is requesting a surgical center-of-excellence carve-out program; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County (Florida) is seeking pharmacy benefit management; Santa Clara County Health System (California) is establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool; and an earlier Collier County posting (dated April 9, 2026) covered pharmacy services. Buyers include state agencies, large urban counties, and independent health systems. Recent response dates cluster between October 7 and October 20, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. This code does not appear to represent active procurement of the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes.
