UNSPSC 85641605: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JWWXKZ

UNSPSC 85641605 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical-procedure name does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local agencies under this classification. Recent opportunities posted against this code cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related administrative health services — none of which involve tissue substitute revision procedures or surgical grafting in lower extremity fascia. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments.

The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the geographic and issuing-body mix reflects widespread but unrelated healthcare procurement rather than activity concentrated in the code's intended commodity scope. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code classification appears misaligned with actual procurement intent; vendors specializing in tissue grafting and lower extremity reconstruction should verify category accuracy before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
