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

UNSPSC 85713854, Removal of internal fixation device from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring under. The code represents a specific surgical procedure — extraction of orthopedic hardware from the wrist — yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reveal a fundamental mismatch: solicitations are actually seeking independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans. None of these activities align with procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies span diverse state and local jurisdictions including municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), but their buying is fundamentally administrative and programmatic rather than clinical-procedure-specific.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical centers of excellence and bundled payment programs (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled county employees (due April 9, 2026, with a historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million). The code shows no relevant recent activity; the opportunities appear miscoded or represent administrative data artifacts rather than legitimate procurement signals under this Commodity.
