UNSPSC 85723429 Removal of internal fixation device from left knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with orthopedic surgery. The recent opportunities solicited under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, and surgical benefit programs — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices or knee joint surgery. The mismatch suggests that this code receives minimal or mislabeled procurement activity at the state and local level, or that the tagging reflects administrative categorization rather than actual scope.

The source records six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities solicit orthopedic implant removal or knee surgery services. Pursuit of opportunities under this code should be informed by verification that the actual scope aligns with your service offering, as the code's nominal scope does not match the current procurement activity recorded in state and local channels.
