UNSPSC 85573314 Removal of diaphragmatic pacemaker lead from diaphragm, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy descriptor does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities for surgical device removal or diaphragmatic pacemaker-related services. Instead, the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, employee health plan surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency/specialty healthcare for detained youth. These procurement activities center on medical examination scheduling, health plan administration, staffing coordination, and program management — not surgical extraction or device-related interventions. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, suggesting the code has been applied as a catch-all for miscellaneous healthcare-related state and local contracting rather than for discrete surgical procedures.

Geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete representative opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows material mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity, indicating either miscoding at the point of posting or use of the code as a generic healthcare taxonomy placeholder.
