UNSPSC 85641208: Removal of cardiac rhythm related device 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 cardiac rhythm related device 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 0JPT0PZ

UNSPSC 85641208 Removal of cardiac rhythm related device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope names a specific surgical procedure—extraction of implanted cardiac devices—yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve cardiac device removal or any surgical procedure extraction matching the code's clinical description.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error in the source material. State and local procurement offices occasionally tag health-services opportunities with clinical procedure codes rather than service-delivery or staffing codes, but this code shows no verifiable recent opportunities aligned with its nominal scope. Firms pursuing work under this code should treat recent activity as a false signal and verify the intended code taxonomy directly with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy.
