UNSPSC 85631563: Destruction of right lower leg skin, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right lower leg 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 0H5KXZZ

UNSPSC 85631563 Destruction of right lower leg skin, external approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code bear no relationship to the nominal scope and instead reflect procurement for occupational health services, medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and employee health plan administration. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure description. State and local governments are not soliciting destruction of right lower leg skin procedures under this code; rather, issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach, and Collier County are procuring independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and pharmacy benefit management services. These opportunities reflect administrative healthcare functions and staffing rather than the specific dermatological or surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization services for public safety personnel, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or substantial divergence between UNSPSC classification and state and local buying patterns. Firms evaluating this code should verify that specific healthcare operations align with their service offerings before pursuing these opportunities.
