This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JPW0KZ

UNSPSC 85641853 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity actually occurring under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical tissue removal procedures; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent the orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and human services departments (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners' procurement divisions (Collier County), municipal employee benefits offices (Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). This geographic spread reflects activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, though the opportunities are sparse and episodic rather than sustained across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent procurement activity that directly corresponds to its stated scope of surgical tissue removal and exhibits little signal of sustained buying behavior in this commodity area under state and local contracting vehicles. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that opportunities are actually classified correctly before committing resources to pursuit.
