This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in upper 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 0JWVXJZ

UNSPSC 85641616 Revision of synthetic substitute in upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its anatomical-procedure nomenclature and the state and local contracting activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve surgical revision of upper extremity synthetic substitutes or fascia procedures. The code appears to be a misapplication of medical procedure taxonomy to general public-sector healthcare procurement rather than orthopedic implant or surgical services. State and local governments tagging activity under this code are using it to classify administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and medical staffing rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect meaningful recent activity in its stated surgical specialty and should be treated as showing limited procurement relevance for vendors in orthopedic implant, synthetic tissue substitutes, or fascia revision services.
