UNSPSC 85651321: Removal of stimulator lead from upper muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of stimulator lead from upper muscle, 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 0KPX3MZ

UNSPSC 85651321 Removal of stimulator lead from upper muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a surgical procedure for removing a neuromuscular stimulator implant — does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The six most recent solicitations tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements concern implantable device removal or the procedural interventions the code describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services without regard to its specific commodity definition.

State and local issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities under this code during the past three months, but the work being solicited — primarily administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing coordination — falls outside orthopedic or neurosurgical device services. Without solicitations that actually target stimulator lead removal or related device extraction procedures, the code presents limited pursuit opportunity for vendors specializing in that commodity.
