This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85691634, Removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. Of the six opportunities in the source, only one — the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP — involves any medical examination at all, and that contract addresses baseline and periodic occupational health screening for ferries workers, not orthopedic surgery or device removal. The remaining five opportunities span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), and professional liability insurance requirements — none of which align with the code's stated procedure.

The code shows no active state and local procurement activity aligned with its primary clinical scope. The mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the opportunities posted under it suggests either a data-tagging error at the issuing body or a broader administrative classification that does not reflect actual surgical procurement. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work directly with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 85691634, as the recent posting history does not support procurement patterns for orthopedic implant removal or related surgical services at the state or local level.
