UNSPSC 85641631: Removal of radioactive element from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from 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 0JPVX1Z

UNSPSC 85641631, Removal of radioactive element from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — surgical removal of radioactive material from an arm or hand subcutaneous location — yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve radioactive-element removal or align with the procedure named in the UNSPSC descriptor.

The mismatch suggests that the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) represent the recent activity tagged to this code, but none involve the procedure described in the UNSPSC name. Absent recent opportunities that align with the code's actual scope, this code does not represent a meaningful pursuit target for vendors focused on radioactive-element removal or related surgical specialties.
