UNSPSC 85703755 "Removal of internal fixation device from left tibia, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local agencies posting opportunities under this tag. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how these opportunities have been tagged in the source system or a misapplication of the code to administrative healthcare services and staffing that fall well outside the code's nominal medical device / surgical procedure scope.

No opportunities in the source are purchasing the orthopedic surgical service named in the code itself. The issuing bodies represented across the misfiled opportunities include a state department of transportation, a county health system, a county human resources department, a county juvenile probation department, a city retirement office, and a city benefits administrator — spanning both clinical procurement (medical surveillance, emergency care) and administrative healthcare contracting (pharmacy benefits, surgical networks, staffing). The geographic spread includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of any current procurement activity aligned with the code's stated definition, this Commodity code shows no relevant recent activity for orthopedic device removal or related surgical services at the state and local level.
