UNSPSC 85631332: Replacement of right lower leg skin with synthetic substitute, full thickness, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right lower leg skin with synthetic substitute, full thickness, external 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 0HRKXJ3

UNSPSC 85631332 Replacement of right lower leg skin with synthetic substitute, full thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that the source does not support with relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving synthetic skin grafting, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve synthetic skin replacement or the orthopedic procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to general healthcare administration and staffing services rather than to the specific medical procedure the taxonomy intends to classify.

The recent opportunities posted under this code represent activity by diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and service lines. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with an RFP due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001), with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach sought proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with a submission deadline of April 9, 2026 and estimated annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; however, the code classification does not reflect actual procurement scope, limiting its utility for business development targeting genuine synthetic biomaterial or orthopedic implant work at state and local bodies.
