UNSPSC 85641621: Removal of vascular access device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of vascular access device from lower extremity 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 0JPWXXZ

UNSPSC 85641621 Removal of vascular access device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity-level code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical procedure carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address administrative medical services, clinical staffing models, and benefit plan management rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. None of these solicitations explicitly reference vascular access device removal or related interventional vascular procedures.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the code as a catch-all medical services category or that the opportunities were mislabeled during entry. Recent activity appears concentrated among county health systems and municipal retirement offices in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no standout repeat buyers across multiple opportunities. Without opportunities that directly align with the code's clinical focus, this code does not present a clear pursuit signal for vendors in vascular access device removal or related interventional services.
