UNSPSC 85492735 Removal of cardiac lead from heart, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical title suggests surgical implantable device extraction, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve cardiac lead removal or related implantable device services. Instead, issuing bodies are tagging administrative health services, pharmacy management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing under this code—work that sits outside the surgical and device domains the code name implies.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The City of Long Beach (California) is seeking proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional extensions. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, imaging, surgical, therapy services, and others excluding nursing and physicians), due October 7, 2026. Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical pharmacy spending near $8.7 million annually. The code shows little substantive recent procurement activity in cardiac lead extraction or related surgical device work; the tagged opportunities suggest administrative miscoding rather than genuine market signal in this commodity's intended scope.
