UNSPSC 85722005 Removal of external fixation device from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The code appears to be a procedural medical billing classification that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to administrative health services and staffing contracts. This mismatch suggests the code is not actively used for state and local procurement of services it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set include a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), a city human resources department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County) — a mix typical of health-services procurement across state and local jurisdictions. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No representative opportunities under this code match its nominal scope; the code shows no current state and local market activity for the surgical procedure it names.
