UNSPSC 85723828 Removal of internal fixation device from left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — arthroscopic removal of orthopedic hardware from the knee — but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involves removal of internal fixation devices or orthopedic surgical procedures at the commodity level.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, representing the Washington State Ferries), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Activity is concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with representative recent opportunities including the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor-pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a tagging mismatch across all posted opportunities.
