UNSPSC 85722919 Removal of external fixation device from right knee joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy are primarily for jail medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical removal of external fixation devices. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of general healthcare administration being solicited suggests either a classification error in how state and local bodies are tagging their opportunities or minimal direct procurement of this specific procedure through state and local channels.

The issuing bodies appearing in recent opportunities tagged to this code include county departments (Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County Health), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (posted April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). None of these solicitations reference orthopedic surgery, external fixation removal, or related procedures. Given the complete absence of procurement activity matching the code's stated commodity definition, this code does not present a current business development opportunity.
