This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85642268 "Removal of infusion device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent contract opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of a subcutaneous infusion device — yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurement actions involve infusion device removal or the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either data-quality issues in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnection between the UNSPSC taxonomy application and the purchasing reality in these jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies span multiple state and local government types — a county health system (Santa Clara), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a city employee health benefit purchaser (City of Long Beach), a county human resources and health consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a county juvenile justice department (Harris County, Texas) — with no concentration among repeat buyers. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category and warrants review for proper reclassification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
