UNSPSC 85641268: Insertion of defibrillator generator into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of defibrillator generator into chest 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 0JH608Z

UNSPSC 85641268 Insertion of defibrillator generator into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical implant procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care-center-of-excellence networks, and pediatric detention healthcare — none of which involve defibrillator implantation or any surgical insertion procedure. The code appears to be a data-tagging error rather than a reflection of actual buying practice in state and local government.

The opportunities cross multiple issuing bodies including 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). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no state appearing more than once across the six records. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement focus for business development targeting state and local contracting in medical devices or clinical services.
