UNSPSC 85631364: Replacement of left lower arm skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external approach

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, 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 0HREXK3

UNSPSC 85631364 Replacement of left lower arm skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, full thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—identifying a single surgical procedure on a defined body part using a particular tissue substitute—does not match the scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag.

The recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical centers of excellence for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern surgical replacement of arm skin or tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the procurement database or that the code has been applied to medical administration and benefit management work that does not correspond to its intended scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, for occupational health services), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Without recent opportunities that actually address skin replacement or tissue grafting procedures at the state or local level, this code does not present a clear procurement pursuit pathway for vendors in surgical or orthopedic tissue supply and services.
