UNSPSC 85712444: Removal of infusion device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left shoulder joint, 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 0RPK33Z

UNSPSC 85712444 Removal of infusion device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity as evidenced in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities posted under this code taxonomy span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, specialty medical carve-out programs, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve infusion device removal or orthopedic procedures at the clinical intervention level. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical definition and its practical application in state and local government procurement systems.

Recent activity shows geographically dispersed issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, including city retirement offices, county health systems, departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and city HR divisions. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (RFP RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary health professional staffing qualifications due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052); and Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services with an April 9, 2026 deadline (RFP 25-8414). Given the absence of infusion-device-removal or orthopedic surgical work in these opportunities, pursuit under this code would require clarification from issuing bodies about the actual clinical services and procurement mechanisms they intend to use.
