UNSPSC 85522826: Removal of monitoring device from upper vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from upper vein, 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 05PY02Z

UNSPSC 85522826 Removal of monitoring device from upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code showing a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities filed under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of monitoring devices from upper veins. The issuing bodies include city pension boards and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county human services and procurement departments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). This apparent taxonomic misclassification suggests the code may be a catch-all placeholder or data-entry artifact within these state and local procurement systems rather than a live category for actual vascular device removal services.

Activity is geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent record. The Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the most substantial recent solicitations, each with multi-year terms and significant compliance and clinical credentialing requirements. The code shows no discernible pattern of actual vascular-intervention procurement and does not warrant pursuit by firms specializing in interventional cardiology, vascular surgery support, or medical device removal services.
