UNSPSC 85703260 Removal of internal fixation device from right tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code are solicitations for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or removal of internal fixation devices. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error or that this code is used locally in a way that departs from standard UNSPSC taxonomy for healthcare service contracting.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block span county governments (Muscogee County/Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). None of the opportunities solicit surgical services, implant removal, or orthopedic interventions. Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFP (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services; Collier County issued an RFP (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; Monroe County issued an RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services; San Mateo County issued an RFP (due July 2, 2025) for peer support services for behavioral health workers; and Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP (due October 16, 2025) for a medical director for EMS oversight. This code does not appear to be in active use for orthopedic surgical procurement in state and local government.
