UNSPSC 85492624 Removal of monitoring device from heart, external approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity shows a significant mismatch between the code's medical nomenclature and the actual work being solicited. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve cardiac device removal; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical care networks, and juvenile detention medical services. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, and municipal human resources departments. The scope spans medical record summarization and examination coordination for public safety pension boards, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across multiple locations, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles such as audiology and diagnostic imaging, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, Center of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency care for detained youth.

Recent opportunities originate across multiple states and jurisdictions with geographic concentration in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries personnel across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825).
