UNSPSC 85703770, Removal of internal fixation device from right lower femur, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent state and local opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with surgical removal of orthopedic hardware; instead, the code tags administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual posting activity indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is not used to classify operative services in state and local procurement practice. State and local buyers appear to classify medical services work — occupational health programs, pension disability evaluations, benefit carve-outs, and staffing — through alternative codes within the 857 Family.

The limited recent-opportunities block shows activity across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); California (City of Long Beach surgery benefit carve-out RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFS RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); and Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent procurement signal and does not appear to be a productive focus for business development targeting state and local surgical or orthopedic hardware removal services.
