UNSPSC 85702986 Removal of internal fixation device from right femoral shaft, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not actively procure under this specific medical procedure classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care networks, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a discrete orthopedic surgical intervention—and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful state and local procurement line item.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government human resources and benefits functions (Long Beach, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), and county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County). Recent opportunities cluster in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations statewide; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, supporting approximately 75 annual disability pension applications; the City of Long Beach's specialty surgical carve-out benefit RFP due October 7, 2026, for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026, spanning 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical device removal or related implant removal services in state and local procurement.
