This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right upper femur, open approach.

UNSPSC 85703290 Removal of internal fixation device from right upper femur, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local opportunities show no purchasing activity aligned with this code's clinical scope. The solicitations tagged under this code instead cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to health-services and benefits-administration procurements that fall outside its intended clinical domain.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (County of Santa Clara), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county board of county commissioners (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. This code does not appear to reflect actual procurement of orthopedic surgery or device-removal services within state and local government.
