This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right toe phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85705510, Removal of internal fixation device from right toe phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical-procedure scope. The code's nominal taxonomy describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align directly with the removal of orthopedic hardware. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not reflect the code's actual procedural definition.

Activity appears across multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile authorities (Harris County), county government (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five one-year renewal options); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualification vehicle). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single region.
