UNSPSC 85712167, Removal of internal fixation device from left shoulder joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged with or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which constitutes the direct procurement of orthopedic surgical services or implant removal. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county human resources divisions, and county probation departments. No issuer appears more than once across the recent block, and no single geographic region concentrates the activity.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum contract value and October 16, 2026 response date; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with responses due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code demonstrates limited activity aligned with its stated commodity definition and may indicate a mismatch between the code's scope and the work state and local agencies are actually procuring in this space.
