UNSPSC 85801827 Removal of other device on left lower extremity is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The code represents a surgical procedure or device-removal service; however, recent opportunities tagged under this code show substantial mismatch with the code's clinical definition, covering instead clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, pharmacy services, drug testing, inmate medical care, and wastewater surveillance—work that does not involve surgical device removal. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Illinois DHS, Texas HHSC, Colorado DHS, Kentucky Veterans Affairs), county health and corrections agencies (Harris County, Brevard County, Muscogee County), municipal and school district procurement (Austin ISD, Henry County, Northside ISD), and specialized service districts (Oregon State Police, District of Columbia Medical Examiner, Nevada Purchasing). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada, with scattered activity across Oregon, Washington, D.C., and other states.

The code shows no recent opportunities that directly solicit surgical device removal or orthopedic procedure services at state or local level. Recent tagged opportunities instead reflect state and local health systems' ongoing need for clinical laboratory testing (routine and STAT processing, specimen collection, result reporting with rapid turnaround), occupational health and screening services (physicals, drug testing, fitness-for-duty evaluations), and specialized diagnostic testing (lead analysis, hantavirus genomics, drug screening panels, postmortem analysis). The most representative recent solicitation is the Illinois Department of Human Services IFB B-52955 (due August 4, 2026) for laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities statewide, requiring CLIA certification, Medicare-aligned pricing, and BEP (Business Enterprise Program) utilization at 7 percent. Additional activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission lead sample analysis IFB HHS0017054V2 (due July 31, 2026) requiring EPA-recognized NLLAP accreditation and HUB subcontracting at 26 percent, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky's recurring medical laboratory services RFPs for five veterans' centers (due dates April–June 2026) each requiring CLIA certification and PointClickCare EHR integration. The code as currently applied does not represent a viable pursuit category for orthopedic or surgical service vendors; business development should verify whether the code assignment reflects a data-entry error or procurement system misconfiguration by the issuing bodies.
