UNSPSC 85703255 Removal of internal fixation device from left tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—fall outside the scope of orthopedic surgical procedures that the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to procure individual surgical procedure codes through traditional solicitation; instead, they contract for healthcare services, benefit administration, and staffing arrangements that may include such procedures as embedded clinical activities.

The source contains no evidence of direct state or local procurement activity under this code. The mismatch between the code's specificity (a single surgical procedure) and the actual healthcare contracting activity recorded in recent notices suggests that this code either does not map to state and local demand patterns or is not used by procurement offices to tag healthcare-related opportunities.
