This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower arm skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, partial 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 0HREXK4

UNSPSC 85631363 Replacement of left lower arm skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach is a Commodity code with significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which involve the dermatological or reconstructive procedure the code nominally specifies. This mismatch indicates either tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health-related services broadly, rendering it unreliable as a predictor of actual procurement activity.

Recent opportunities in the source show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office, city employee health programs, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, a county health consortium, and a county health system. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum five-year value of $750,000 and a response date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out services with a go-live target of April 1, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no clear concentration of issuing bodies or geography and no consistent work stream that would support reliable vendor positioning.
