UNSPSC 85641825: Replacement of left lower arm 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 arm 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 0JRH0KZ

UNSPSC 85641825 Replacement of left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities the code has attracted. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue replacement, yet the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or a broader tagging practice by issuing bodies that does not reflect the code's intended scope.

Recent activity appears across multiple states and issuing-body types, including state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee-benefits programs (City of Long Beach), though the opportunities themselves do not substantively involve tissue-replacement surgery. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit record summary and scheduling services at up to $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) managing specialty Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures; and the Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFP (due October 7, 2026) establishing a vendor pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope and does not present a clear procurement opportunity for firms in tissue-replacement or surgical implant markets.
