UNSPSC 85782822 Removal of other device from right lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code with limited alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical descriptor—removal of an implanted or external device from the leg—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this code in the current market. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical device removal. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at the point of posting or that the code itself captures administrative or billing categories that state and local procurement offices use inconsistently.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows consistent activity but does not support pursuit focused on the commodity's nominal scope. Clarification of how the code is applied within each jurisdiction's taxonomy would be required before committing resources.
