UNSPSC 85531222: Removal of infusion device from lower vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower vein, percutaneous 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 06PY33Z

UNSPSC 85531222 Removal of infusion device from lower vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader healthcare service landscape disconnected from the code's stated clinical procedure. The recent solicitations—disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—reflect administrative healthcare purchasing, clinical staffing, and benefits program design rather than direct procurement of infusion-device removal procedures or related medical devices. State and local bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health departments and human resources divisions (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara). This fragmentation across issuing-body types and the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual purchasing activity suggest either systematic miscoding or a code that does not align with how state and local government currently structures healthcare procurement.

Geographic concentration is not meaningful in light of the scope mismatch. Recent opportunities appear in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the code shows little relevant recent activity focused on the procedure named in its title. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the closest functional alignment to healthcare program administration. Firms tracking this code should verify coding accuracy with each issuing body before responding, as the tag appears to reflect administrative process mislabeling rather than clinical procurement strategy.
