UNSPSC 85722513, Removal of external fixation device from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no medical procedure removals or orthopedic surgical services being purchased by state or local governments under this code. Instead, recent opportunities tagged with this code cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. These are administrative medical services, benefits management, and workforce-related medical support—not the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The misalignment between the code and actual purchasing activity suggests either tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or obsolete code assignments in state and local UNSPSC catalogs.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and medical record summary preparation for disability pension applications (response due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (response due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (response due April 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally covers.
