UNSPSC 85693265 Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The source contains six recent state and local contract opportunities, none of which directly solicit orthopedic surgical services or implant removal procedures matching the code's description. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—all healthcare-related work but categorically distinct from the surgical implant removal service the code nominally addresses. The mismatch suggests either that this code is rarely used by state and local procurement offices, or that opportunities involving surgical device removal are tagged differently in practice.

The issuing bodies represented in the opportunities span municipal pension systems (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), reflecting the breadth of healthcare demand across state and local government. Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Without documented opportunities directly under this code, no representative recent solicitation for surgical device removal can be named, and the code warrants watch-only status for vendors in orthopedic surgery support unless future procurement activity emerges.
