UNSPSC 85631389: Replacement of right upper arm skin with autologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right upper arm skin with autologous 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 0HRBX74

UNSPSC 85631389 Replacement of right upper arm skin with autologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's clinical scope. Instead, the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical care carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve skin grafting or tissue replacement. The issuing bodies are mixed: city retirement offices (Phoenix), large municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Collier County, Harris County), and county health systems. This code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; the commodities actually being procured are healthcare administration, medical surveillance, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures.

Activity occurs across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026, with cost accounting for 40 percent of evaluation weighting); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work volume. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, this code should be considered low-priority for business development until the taxonomy issue is clarified.
