UNSPSC 85782921: Removal of other device from left lower extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from left lower extremity, 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 0YPB0YZ

UNSPSC 85782921 Removal of other device from left lower extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relation to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code (likely a medical billing classification), yet the recent opportunities tagged to it involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out administration, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical device removal. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual goods or services being procured.

The recent opportunities do reflect substantive state and local healthcare and benefits administration activity across multiple jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance with a response date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing services with a response deadline of October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program with a due date of October 7, 2026. Collier County (Florida) and Harris County (Texas) posted related healthcare procurement activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing device, implant, or procedural-removal services in the surgical or orthopedic space.
