UNSPSC 85704931 Removal of external fixation device from right toe phalanx, external approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve medical services procurement entirely unrelated to orthopedic surgical procedures — specifically disability medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and surgical care networks. None of these solicitations involve removal of fixation devices or any orthopedic procedure. The code's abstract clinical definition does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers right now.

The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source or that this particular UNSPSC code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for their actual buying patterns. State and local medical services procurement does show activity — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 — but none of these solicitations track to orthopedic device removal or any related surgical service. Without evidence of active state or local procurement under the code's actual scope, pursue opportunities in this taxonomy only if a specific RFP, RFQ, or IFB names it explicitly in the solicitation documents.
