This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from left lower 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 0YPB3YZ

UNSPSC 85783015 Removal of other device from left lower extremity, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its medical taxonomy designation and the actual state and local procurement activity recorded under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative medical services, healthcare benefit management, occupational health examinations, and clinical staffing arrangements — none of which involve percutaneous device removal procedures. The source shows no direct procurement for the surgical procedure the code describes; instead, issuing bodies are sourcing independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance across multiple work sites, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles. This suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been reinterpreted locally to encompass broader medical service categories unrelated to orthopedic device removal.

The issuing bodies include Arizona city retirement boards (Phoenix), California municipalities (Long Beach), Washington state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation/Ferries), Texas county probation systems (Harris County), Florida county commissioners (Collier County), and California regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington across recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. The code's recent activity does not reflect procurement aligned with its stated medical procedure scope, creating significant risk for vendors targeting this code based on its taxonomy definition rather than actual government buying patterns.
