This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right upper leg 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 0J5L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85642056 Destruction of right upper leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical destruction of subcutaneous tissue or any orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they reflect demand for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. These solicitations span medical administrative services, occupational medicine compliance, and health plan vendor management—none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach).

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry locations; and the Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code appears to be miscoded in the state and local procurement system—the opportunities reflect administrative healthcare and occupational medicine services rather than the surgical procedure the code nominally describes, making this code a poor fit for vendors pursuing state and local medical procurement work in this space.
