UNSPSC 85771922: Removal of other device from right upper extremity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from right upper extremity, percutaneous 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 0XP63YZ

UNSPSC 85771922 (Removal of other device from right upper extremity, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for device removal, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, specialty surgical network management, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve percutaneous device removal from the upper extremity. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental drift between the code's nominal scope and its practical use in state and local procurement systems. State and local buying under this code, as currently tagged, does not reflect a coherent commodity or service line.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across different states and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posting an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (California) soliciting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is also establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of alignment between code definition and procurement activity, this code warrants verification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
