UNSPSC 85641947: Insertion of reservoir into right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of reservoir into right upper arm 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 0JHD0WZ

UNSPSC 85641947 Insertion of reservoir into right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical implant procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no connection to that clinical scope. The solicitations actually being purchased under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits for Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical services, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its narrow procedural definition and the broad healthcare administration, occupational health, and benefits management work that state and local buyers are tagging to it.

Recent activity spans state health systems, county human resources divisions, retirement boards, ferries agencies, and juvenile probation departments across California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract value; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spend around $8.7 million; the City of Long Beach sought a surgical carve-out benefit program for an Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted a non-binding RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code's active use for healthcare administration and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures suggests either persistent categorization error across multiple jurisdictions or a data quality issue in UNSPSC assignment that warrants clarification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
