UNSPSC 85694235, Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its procedural-specific nomenclature and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code does not align with its literal orthopedic surgical procedure title; instead, it appears to capture a broad range of healthcare administration, medical record management, and occupational health services purchased by state departments, counties, cities, and special healthcare systems. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health authorities.
