UNSPSC 85651163: Removal of stimulator lead from lower muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of stimulator lead from lower muscle, 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 0KPY0MZ

UNSPSC 85651163 Removal of stimulator lead from lower muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated scope. The handful of opportunities posted since August 2026 — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — span healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and personnel placement rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant management. State and local purchasing offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all medical services classification rather than for the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant procurement activity for stimulator lead removal or related surgical implant procedures; business development teams pursuing state and local opportunities in orthopedic surgery or neurostimulation should verify UNSPSC code alignment during pursuit.
