UNSPSC 85694733 Removal of external fixation device from right finger phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the hand; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth. These opportunities concern the procurement of health services administration, staffing, and benefit management — not surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting as currently used in procurement systems.

The recent opportunities under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no apparent concentration. The nearest substantive alignment appears in the Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), which calls for occupational medical examinations by board-certified physicians across 14 ferry locations statewide, and the Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), which seeks medical record review and independent medical examinations for public safety personnel disability determinations. Neither procurement directly relates to orthopedic surgical procedure codes.
