This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right knee 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 0SPCX3Z

UNSPSC 85722921 Removal of infusion device from right knee joint, external approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for orthopedic device removal procedures or related surgical services. Instead, the code has been applied to five disparate health-care procurement actions—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, 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 administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of infusion devices from knee joints or match the code's clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-sourcing artifact; the code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated definition.

Geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities span city retirement offices, municipal health-benefit procurement, state transportation occupational health programs, county juvenile detention medical services, county pharmacy benefit administration, and county health system staffing. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag, firms should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any specific procurement target rather than rely on this code's current application.
