UNSPSC 85694239 Removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical description references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical care carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve removal of external fixation devices or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to humeral shaft procedures.

State and local issuing bodies appearing in the recent record include city retirement boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards through the City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include an RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response date of October 16, 2026; an RFP from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with responses due October 9, 2026; and an RFP from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code exhibits no coherent procurement activity aligned with its stated clinical focus and appears to be an indexing artifact rather than an active state and local procurement category.
