UNSPSC 85692421 Removal of internal fixation device from right rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that sits outside the scope of actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show little relevant connection to orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of internal fixation devices or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to specific anatomical sites. The code's clinical specificity does not align with how state and local governments structure their healthcare procurement, which typically uses broader service categories rather than procedure-level UNSPSC taxonomy.

State and local buyers posting under this code over the past three months include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation agencies, and municipal pension boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The actual work solicited reflects administrative and operational healthcare needs — medical evaluations, staffing pools, benefits administration — rather than surgical case management. No recent opportunities in the source target surgical device removal, orthopedic implant procurement, or related clinical services. This code does not appear to represent an active procurement category for state and local governments at this time.
