UNSPSC 85703245 Removal of internal fixation device from left fibula, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device removal. The mismatch suggests either a systematic classification error in the source data or misapplication of the code to healthcare administrative and staffing services that fall outside its nominal scope.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. No recent opportunities under this code actually solicit orthopedic surgical services, medical device implants, or removal procedures.
