UNSPSC 85642249: Removal of vascular access device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous 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, percutaneous 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 0JPW3XZ

UNSPSC 85642249 Removal of vascular access device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of vascular access devices. This mismatch indicates either that the code assignment reflects a data-entry or taxonomy-application error in the source material, or that the code sees minimal relevant purchasing activity in the state and local market.

The geographic spread of the miscategorized opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation agencies. Without verifiable recent opportunities properly tagged to this Commodity code, pursuit under UNSPSC 85642249 should be considered a lower priority until opportunities more directly aligned with the actual work described by the code code emerge in state and local procurement channels.
