UNSPSC 85712743 Removal of internal fixation device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. The source contains no state or local procurement opportunities actually buying this surgical procedure code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead solicit medical surveillance services, occupational health examinations, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with orthopedic implant removal or procedural surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the category captures administrative and clinical support services rather than the specific procedure named.

No decision-relevant state or local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85712743 is evident in the recent-opportunities block. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local purchasing offices are using it to classify actual orthopedic surgical procedures, clinical staff augmentation for surgical settings, or post-operative support services—or whether the code sees meaningful volume in this market at all.
