UNSPSC 85641849 Removal of vascular access device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the removal of vascular access devices. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that vascular access device removal procedures are not currently being competitively solicited by state and local jurisdictions under this code.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no clear pattern tied to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (deadline April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. These solicitations cover Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida but represent administrative healthcare services, staffing placement, and benefits management rather than any procedure specific to vascular access device removal.
