UNSPSC 85701608 (Removal of internal fixation device from left acetabulum, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities listed under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these activities align with the code's stated clinical procedure. State and local issuing bodies using this code appear to include county health systems, county human resources and procurement divisions, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation agencies. The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State.

The source provides no recent solicitations directly related to orthopedic surgical procedures or internal fixation device removal. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged under it (including an RFP from Phoenix for disability medical record summaries due October 16, 2026; an RFP from Long Beach for surgical benefit carve-outs due October 7, 2026; an RFP from Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and an RFP from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management originally due April 9, 2026) represent administrative health services, benefit management, and clinical support functions rather than the surgical procedure this code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement record or that the code is being used to classify health services contracting more broadly rather than specific surgical procedures.
