UNSPSC 85692221 Removal of internal fixation device from right rib, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical removal of rib fixation devices. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of health services procurement activity that falls outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle). The code shows no recent procurement activity consistent with surgical device removal services.
