UNSPSC 85642050: Division of right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of 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 0J8D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85642050 Division of right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure on human tissue, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code taxonomy cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and specialty medical care coordination—none of which are surgical procedures on upper arm tissue. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all administrative placeholder for healthcare services. State and local buyers posting these opportunities include county health systems, pension boards, state transportation departments, juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources offices.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety pensions, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem PPO plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spend of $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a request for proposals (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including radiology, surgical services, and therapy. Given the consistent mismatch between code taxonomy and actual work being bought, this code warrants verification before pursuit.
