This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, external 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 0RPPX3Z

UNSPSC 85711909 Removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relation to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability retirements, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these procurements involve infusion device removal or wrist joint surgery. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting typical state and local health and human services purchasing.

The code shows no recent activity aligned with its procedural descriptor. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the recent opportunities addressing system-level healthcare administration and staffing rather than clinical procedures. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between code title and actual procurement suggests either a cataloging error or legacy tagging unrelated to current activity; vendors pursuing work in these health administration and staffing categories should not rely on this code for opportunity identification.
