UNSPSC 85641016: Removal of contraceptive device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of contraceptive device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JPTXHZ

UNSPSC 85641016 Removal of contraceptive device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the posted opportunities solicited under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve contraceptive device removal. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities by the posting jurisdictions, and the code shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity.

The disconnect between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual solicitation content indicates that this Commodity code is not currently active in the state and local market for its intended purpose. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC category should verify the correct code classification during Q&A cycles and in pre-bid communications, as the posted opportunities appear to be miscoded at the point of entry into procurement systems.
