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

UNSPSC 85703779 Removal of external fixation device from right femoral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities; the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this code involve independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedure coding or removal of external fixation devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging of these opportunities or an artifact of how some state and local procurement systems classify medical services more broadly. Firms evaluating activity under this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether the code reflects genuine procurement interest in external fixation device removal services or whether the recent postings represent miscoded administrative health-benefit and staffing procurements unrelated to the code's stated procedure.
