This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of stimulator lead from anal sphincter, 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 0DPR0MZ

UNSPSC 85593015 Removal of stimulator lead from anal sphincter, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure for electrode extraction — does not align with the actual medical services state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve removal of anal sphincter stimulator leads or any implantable medical device extraction. The mismatch suggests either systematic code misapplication in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for medical services outside its nominal commodity scope.

Activity appears scattered across unrelated jurisdictions and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. Given the code's mismatch with actual work being solicited, business development professionals should treat this code as a taxonomy error rather than a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity and verify the actual scope before committing pursuit resources.
