UNSPSC 85515025: Removal of infusion device from lower artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower 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 04PY03Z

UNSPSC 85515025 Removal of infusion device from lower artery, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, yet state and local governments are not soliciting this specific clinical service under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which align with infusion device removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to opportunities in the healthcare procurement space more broadly, or that the underlying taxonomy assignment does not reflect how state and local jurisdictions actually classify health-related contracting.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System have posted opportunities in August and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but none involve surgical removal of vascular access devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity for this specific clinical procedure; state and local entities appear to be procuring healthcare services, staffing, and benefit administration under this taxonomy without a clear operational match to the code's stated scope.
