UNSPSC 85702451, Removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the specific surgical service named; instead, they span general occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involves spinal hardware removal or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active purchasing category.

The scattered opportunities show no consistent issuing-body pattern or geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) issued six separate solicitations between July and September 2026 — none genuinely aligned to the code's stated scope. The source provides no evidence of state or local governments actively procuring lumbar spinal device removal or percutaneous endoscopic orthopedic surgery services under this code. Vendors should not rely on this code as a targeting tool for spine surgery or related hardware-removal contracting in the state and local space.
