UNSPSC 85704244, Removal of external fixation device from left fibula, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the work actually appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations reflect administrative healthcare services, benefit program management, and temporary clinical staffing — none involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. The issuing bodies are state transportation departments, counties, cities, and health systems; no pattern of repeat activity under this code emerges from the recent record. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in these jurisdictions' procurement systems or that this code should not be a search target for firms pursuing state and local healthcare and benefits management work.
