UNSPSC 85695016 Removal of internal fixation device from right finger phalanx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on finger bones. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and current procurement use, suggesting either miscategorization by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used for its intended purpose in state and local contracting.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of orthopedic procedural work and the consistent divergence between code definition and actual procurement scope, this code warrants skip status for firms pursuing orthopedic or surgical device services.
