This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left carpal joint, external approach.

UNSPSC 85713033, Removal of external fixation device from left carpal joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or carpal joint interventions; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefits. The code's narrow, procedure-specific definition does not map to the administrative and clinical staffing services being solicited by state and local health systems, county human resources offices, and transit authorities.

The recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional extensions), the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026). The geographic and issuing-body mix—spanning state departments, county human resources divisions, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices—reflects broad state and local procurement activity, but the tagged opportunities do not reflect the orthopedic surgical scope the commodity code represents.
