UNSPSC 85603370: Removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0DPD73Z

UNSPSC 85603370, Removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this procedural classification. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of infusion devices or lower intestinal tract procedures. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to health care and benefits administration services that fall outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, and appears scattered across multiple jurisdictions with no dominant regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active recent posting volume but appears to suffer from systematic miscoding that limits its utility as a procurement signal.
