This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of neurostimulator lead from spinal canal, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 00PUXMZ

UNSPSC 85471712 Removal of neurostimulator lead from spinal canal, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no substantive relationship to the code's nominal scope. The sourced solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurostimulator lead removal or spinal procedures. This mismatch indicates either systemic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services unrelated to its defined commodity.

No recent opportunities under this code actually solicit neurostimulator-related products or services. The geographic and issuing-body activity captured in the dataset reflects general health services procurement across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but none address the clinical domain the code nominally describes. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive for procurement targeting purposes and verify code alignment directly with soliciting bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
