UNSPSC 85642100: Subcutaneous tissue fascia-extremities, percutaneous approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia of the extremities with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0J.

UNSPSC 85642100 Subcutaneous tissue fascia-extremities, percutaneous approach-part A is a Class code nominally describing a medical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to the code's scope—they instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its intended taxonomy. The four opportunities posted since late July 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, occupational health examinations for ferries workers, specialty surgical centers of excellence for municipal employees, and pharmacy administration—none of which address subcutaneous tissue procedures or fascial work. Issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a city benefits office (Long Beach), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County, Florida). Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida with no clear concentration.

Representative opportunities illustrate the mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations for fire and police pension applicants, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026, for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing (audiology, cardiology, imaging, gastroenterology, and specialty therapy), with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears erroneous—practitioners should verify the actual scope before pursuing activity listed under this taxonomy.
