UNSPSC 85641807: Replacement of left lower leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0JRP0KZ

UNSPSC 85641807 Replacement of left lower leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue replacement or surgical implantation.

State and local procurement offices are sourcing this code for occupational health examinations, disability benefit medical reviews, and clinical staffing support rather than for the orthopedic surgical materials and procedures the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical roles including audiology, imaging, and surgical support. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error or a systemic recoding of health professional services under an anatomical procedure code. Firms pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify actual scope alignment with each issuing body before committing resources, as the code's narrow surgical focus does not reflect current procurement practice across the jurisdictions represented.
