UNSPSC 85765020: Removal of other device from retroperitoneum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from retroperitoneum, 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 0WPH0YZ

UNSPSC 85765020 Removal of other device from retroperitoneum, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure for device extraction—does not match the health administration, occupational medicine, and employee benefits management services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this code designation. The source contains no opportunities for surgical device removal or retroperitoneal procedures; instead, recent postings span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations target health administration contractors, occupational medicine providers, benefit management firms, and clinical staffing vendors—not surgical or procedural service providers.

The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the health-administration work being tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue in how state and local procurement offices are classifying medical-services opportunities. State and local buyers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington issued opportunities in July through September 2026 (the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System), but none solicited surgical-device removal or retroperitoneal procedures. Firms pursuing actual device-removal work should verify that this code accurately reflects their service line before investing in state and local opportunities posted under it.
