UNSPSC 85702504 Revision of external fixation device in left metatarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments tag for medical and occupational health services procurement, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct alignment with the surgical orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the issuing bodies are buying occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose health authorities. No single issuing body appears more than once in the recent-opportunity block, suggesting fragmented demand across distinct health-care administration and staffing functions rather than concentration among repeat buyers of orthopedic device revision services.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees and retirees enrolled in an Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical device revision work the code nominally specifies; the tagging appears to reflect broad state and local procurement system classification practices rather than meaningful alignment with the commodity itself.
