UNSPSC 85641206: Removal of reservoir from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of reservoir from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JPT0WZ

UNSPSC 85641206, Removal of reservoir from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity — a surgical procedure for explanting subcutaneous devices — does not match the scope of the opportunities recently tagged under it in state and local databases. The recent solicitations instead capture occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, specialty surgical carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve device removal procedures.

The mismatch suggests that this code either receives infrequent procurement activity in the state and local market, or that opportunities posted under it have been categorized incorrectly in the source system. Issuers across the recent opportunities include 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 — representing a mix of municipal, state, county, and health-system procurement bodies — but none of these solicitations address the implantable-device-removal scope the code nominally describes. A firm evaluating pursuit under this code should confirm directly with issuing bodies that opportunities tagged with 85641206 reflect actual medical-device or surgical-services needs before investing in proposal development.
