This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of reservoir into left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach.

UNSPSC 85641932 "Insertion of reservoir into left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach" is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical implant procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct alignment with the medical device or surgical supply chain the code nominally covers. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-out programs for specialty surgical procedures, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the insertion of subcutaneous reservoirs into the arm.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and county commissioners (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity in Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas, though the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual services being solicited suggests this code may have been misapplied in tagging these opportunities and does not represent a meaningful procurement market segment.
