UNSPSC 85761040: Removal of other device from abdominal wall, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from abdominal wall, 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 0WPFXYZ

UNSPSC 85761040 Removal of other device from abdominal wall, external approach is a Commodity code nominally tied to surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no meaningful connection to the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead cover independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of devices from the abdominal wall. The code shows substantial activity across multiple issuing bodies and geographies, but the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity signals either persistent misclassification in the source systems or administrative tagging that does not reflect the work being solicited.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, with a five-year maximum contract compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations for baseline, periodic, and exit examinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is soliciting a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Issuers include state agencies, counties, cities, and regional health systems. Given the scope mismatch and the absence of opportunities reflecting actual device-removal procedures, business development professionals should verify the code against their internal taxonomy or contact the source system before pursuing work under this classification.
