This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of vascular access device from upper 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 0JPV3XZ

UNSPSC 85642260 Removal of vascular access device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's clinical specificity — a procedural code for vascular device removal — bears no relationship to the procurement activities state and local agencies are tagging with it. This represents a systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC classification applied to these opportunities and their actual scope. Across these opportunities, issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health benefits functions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems. The work being bought is administrative health services management, benefits program design and delivery, occupational health compliance, and provider network curation — not procedural medical interventions.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations statewide with an October 9, 2026 response deadline and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 response deadline. This code shows active recent posting volume but exhibits poor classification accuracy for the administrative and benefits-management services state and local agencies are actually procuring. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy against RFP scope language before pursuing opportunities tagged to this commodity.
