UNSPSC 85641857: Removal of infusion device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower extremity 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 0JPW03Z

UNSPSC 85641857 Removal of infusion device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — excision of a subcutaneous infusion device from the leg via open surgery — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not procure that service. Instead, the opportunities solicit medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, occupational health examinations, emergency and specialty healthcare, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve infusion device removal or any surgical procedure matching the code's technical description. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by the issuing jurisdictions or mission creep in how the code has been applied across state and local procurement systems.

The sole opportunity with potential technical alignment is the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, which requires baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations under supervision of a licensed occupational medicine physician. However, this is preventive occupational health monitoring, not infusion device removal. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty healthcare for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) likewise does not specify infusion device procedures. The remaining opportunities — the City of Phoenix's disability medical record review and examination scheduling (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, proposal deadline April 9, 2026, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million), the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — are administrative, managed-care, or staffing services unrelated to the code's ostensible scope. Vendors pursuing infusion device removal work should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify actual buyer demand through direct issuing-body outreach rather than relying on this taxonomy designation.
