This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from upper vein, 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 05PYX2Z

UNSPSC 85522711 Removal of monitoring device from upper vein, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical care carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve removal of vascular monitoring devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to broader healthcare procurement categories rather than to the specific procedural service the code describes.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Washington, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach HR26753 RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026). Because the code's nominal definition does not align with what is actually being procured under it in the state and local marketplace, firms should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for vascular device removal services or confirm whether procurement activity exists under an alternative code before developing a pursuit strategy.
