UNSPSC 85702835 Removal of internal fixation device from left metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. The code's name describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical device removal or orthopedic procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — work unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch indicates that this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity among state and local buyers, and the opportunities present do not map meaningfully to the procedural terminology the code names.

State and local procurement activity under this Commodity code cannot be characterized from recent solicitations. The opportunities posted under it — including pharmacy benefit management from Collier County, occupational medical surveillance from the Washington State Department of Transportation, temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara County Health System, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations from the City of Phoenix, surgical benefit carve-outs from the City of Long Beach, and specialty medical services for detained youth from Harris County — represent distinct administrative and staffing functions rather than the removal of orthopedic fixation devices. The code's current tagging does not reflect active state and local procurement in its stated domain.
