UNSPSC 85641618: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue 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 0JWVX7Z

UNSPSC 85641618 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical revision of autologous tissue grafts in upper extremity soft tissue—bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code solicited independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth. None of these activities involve autologous tissue grafting, revision surgery, or upper extremity soft-tissue reconstruction. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), but they are uniformly misaligned with the code's nominal clinical content. The Arizona opportunity (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) requests independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington opportunity (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance for ferries employees at 14 statewide locations. The broader pattern suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these jurisdictions' procurement systems, signaling that vendors pursuing activity in medical services, occupational health, or employee benefits administration should rely on alternative UNSPSC codes more narrowly aligned with their service lines rather than monitor this code as a reliable source signal.
