UNSPSC 85641858: Removal of radioactive element from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element 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 0JPW01Z

UNSPSC 85641858 Removal of radioactive element from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical procedure descriptor and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations capture occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve radioactive element removal or lower extremity surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic code misclassification in posting or that the code itself is rarely used by state and local procurement offices for its stated purpose.

The six recent opportunities span state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no standout repeat buyer and no concentration in a single jurisdiction type or region. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not appear to be the proper taxonomic fit for active state and local medical service procurement.
