This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lower arm skin, 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 0HCEXZZ

UNSPSC 85631475 Extirpation of matter from left lower arm skin, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a medical procedure for dermatological or wound-care removal, yet the six solicitations in the recent-opportunities block span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve extirpation of matter from arm skin or match the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a drift between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how jurisdictions are classifying health services procurements.

The recent activity does show issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and government types—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—soliciting health services through RFP and RFI notice types with response dates between September 25 and October 16, 2026. However, because none of these opportunities correspond to the code's nominal definition, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals targeting state and local procurement in dermatological or skin-care services. Practitioners should verify the actual commodity or service code(s) under which health services procurement is categorized in their target jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
