This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of reservoir into left upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach.

UNSPSC 85641942 Insertion of reservoir into left upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical implant procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code solicit medical services entirely unrelated to implantable devices — including disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procurement, implantation, or supply of subcutaneous reservoirs or related surgical implants.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for health services procurements that do not fit standard taxonomy placement, rather than for the implant procedure the code nominally describes. Business development professionals focused on actual implantable device supply, surgical implant distribution, or related medical device activity will not find decision-relevant opportunities under this code classification.
