UNSPSC 85603838: Removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0DPD43Z

UNSPSC 85603838 Removal of infusion device from lower intestinal tract, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific clinical procedure — bears little connection to the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not include gastrointestinal procedure services or related device removals. Instead, they reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These activities fall outside the code's stated clinical scope and suggest the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies when tagging health-care-related work.

The issuing bodies are diverse — a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and city procurement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent disability medical record summary and examination scheduling services for public safety pension applicants with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 (proposals due October 16, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows little activity directly aligned with its procedure-specific nominal scope and may warrant reassessment by procurement offices for proper taxonomy alignment.
