This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left femoral shaft, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85703775, Removal of internal fixation device from left femoral shaft, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code — spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County between July and September 2026 — solicited independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures, internal fixation devices, femoral shaft repair, or procedural medical billing at the commodity level the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic categorization drift in how jurisdictions are classifying medical services procurement. State and local bodies are clearly buying medical services — evaluations, examinations, surveillance, benefit management, and staffing — but not through procurement vehicles aligned with specific surgical procedures or device removals. This code does not warrant pursuit based on current activity unless your firm offers broad medical administration or benefits management services for public-sector health plans and employee populations, which would be better matched to codes covering health plan administration or occupational health services rather than this procedure-specific commodity.
