UNSPSC 85503621: Removal of stimulator lead from upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of stimulator lead from upper artery, open 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 03PY0MZ

UNSPSC 85503621, Removal of stimulator lead from upper artery, open approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of a cardiac device lead via direct vascular access — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 solicit independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations concern device extraction or operative intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic labeling error in the underlying opportunities dataset. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for medical services broadly, rather than for the narrowly defined procedure its name denotes.

The opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across four states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent disability medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026, with $750,000 maximum contract value over five years), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). No recent opportunities under this code directly concern stimulator lead removal or related cardiac device procedures.
