UNSPSC 85761844: Removal of infusion device from pericardial cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from pericardial cavity, open 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 0WPD03Z

UNSPSC 85761844 Removal of infusion device from pericardial cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — extraction of a medical device from the pericardial cavity using open surgical technique — yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve infusion device removal or pericardial procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to health service procurement more broadly, or that state and local buyers are not using this code consistently for the procedure it nominally describes.

The source provides no evidence of active procurement demand for pericardial device removal services from state or local bodies. The issuing bodies represented in the recent-opportunities block — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are pursuing administrative health services, occupational medicine, staffing, and specialty care coordination rather than surgical procedures on cardiac structures. Absent recent RFP or RFQ activity specific to the code's nominal scope, pursuit of this code carries limited near-term opportunity signal.
