UNSPSC 85721539 Removal of infusion device from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect state and local procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests these solicitations may be incorrectly tagged to the code by the issuing bodies or intermediary systems. Across the opportunities that do appear, issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating fragmented procurement authority rather than a coherent commodity family being actively bought.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no single state dominating activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals, the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability retirement determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations directly relate to the orthopedic surgical procedure the UNSPSC code describes; the code does not currently represent a viable market segment under active procurement by state and local buyers.
