UNSPSC 85695025 Removal of external fixation device from right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic external fixation removal or thumb phalanx procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code captures administrative health-benefit and staffing services rather than discrete surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies posting under this code are geographically dispersed and include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent school or health systems. No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer in the recent opportunities block. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread covers the Pacific Northwest (Washington), Southwest (Arizona), and California, with no clear concentration pattern.
