UNSPSC 85702704 Revision of external fixation device in left metatarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being solicited under it in current state and local notices. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve external fixation device revision or metatarsal surgery. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the code sees minimal direct procurement activity for the specific procedure it describes.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (statewide ferries operations), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal health plans, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county government, and county health systems. No patterns of repeat purchasing or concentrated activity under this code are evident in the source material.
