UNSPSC 85701212 Removal of internal fixation device from right acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its surgical-procedure scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia, RFP due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County employees and retirees (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Florida, RFP due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services for Monroe County members (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, Florida, RFP due April 16, 2026), peer support services for peer workers through San Mateo County's behavioral health division (San Mateo County Health, California, RFP due July 2, 2025), and a fire department medical director position (Santa Monica Fire Department, California, RFP due October 16, 2025)—address comprehensive healthcare administration, behavioral health services, and medical direction but do not involve orthopedic surgery, implant removal, or any inpatient operative procedures specific to the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies span county health departments, county human resources divisions, county behavioral health agencies, and municipal fire departments across Georgia, Florida, and California.

The code appears to be mistagged across all recent postings; the opportunities solicited involve healthcare contracting, benefits administration, and clinical program management rather than specific surgical procedures. No recent state and local opportunities directly reference orthopedic implant removal, surgical fixture extraction, or related inpatient or outpatient operative services. This mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual scope of work posted under it suggests the code is not a reliable purchasing category for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services, implant management, or fixation-device-related equipment and supplies through state and local procurement channels. Activity under this code does not reflect genuine demand for the service the code nominally describes.
