UNSPSC 85761864: Removal of other device from chest wall, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from chest wall, 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 0WP80YZ

UNSPSC 85761864 Removal of other device from chest wall, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the removal of devices from a chest wall. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical service procurements or a classification error in the source data. When actual scope diverges this sharply from the code's definition, the code itself is of limited utility for business development targeting state and local medical device removal or cardiothoracic surgical services.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments—a broad and fragmented buyer base. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The code's tagged activity does not reliably reflect procurement of the service its name describes.
