UNSPSC 85783017: Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower extremity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute 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 0YPB3JZ

UNSPSC 85783017 Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower extremity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary clinical staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic implant removal procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional diversity in health-related procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding at the state and local level or that this UNSPSC designation is not in regular use for the orthopedic implant removal services the code nominally describes.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety disability applications with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians for baseline and periodic examinations of shipyard and vessel crew members. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 specialty categories excluding nursing and physician services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent state or local activity actually purchasing orthopedic implant removal procedures or related surgical commodities, signaling either dormant procurement activity under this classification or a data classification issue rather than an active market opportunity.
