This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from liver, external 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 0FP0X2Z

UNSPSC 85612221 Removal of monitoring device from liver, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of medical devices from the liver or any device-extraction procedure. The code appears to have been applied as a broad catch-all for state and local health services procurement rather than for the specific clinical intervention its name describes, creating a significant mismatch between the code's intent and current buying activity.

State and local buyers posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities span the Southwest, West Coast, and Texas; the activity is geographically diffuse across state human resources departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices rather than concentrated in any single region. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's nominal focus on a specific surgical extraction procedure and the absence of actual device-removal solicitations, bidders should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this designation.
