UNSPSC 85701222 Removal of internal fixation device from right pelvic bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic implant removal, but the recent opportunities posted under it are misdirected and bear no relation to the code's scope. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged this code to procurement for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical implant removal or orthopedic procedures.

The geographic spread and issuing bodies across the misdirected opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Long Beach request for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026). The code appears to be a cataloging error across issuing bodies rather than an active procurement category for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.
