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

UNSPSC 85694220 Removal of internal fixation device from right ulna, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with actual procurement under it. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code address occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical networks—services and staffing arrangements rather than the orthopedic implant removal procedure the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests tagging inconsistency rather than active procurement of orthopedic device removal services at the state and local level under this code.

The opportunities that have been tagged to the code span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for public safety pension benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the code's actual procurement signal across state and local government remains unclear given the divergence between its nominal scope and the opportunities assigned to it.
