UNSPSC 85642177: Supplement of left hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement of left hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0JUK37Z

UNSPSC 85642177, a Commodity-tier code nominally named "Supplement of left hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach," shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's description of a specific surgical tissue-grafting procedure performed on the left hand. The code appears to have been misapplied to health-care administrative and staffing solicitations rather than orthopedic or reconstructive surgical services.

The issuers across the recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas, reflecting health-administration and occupational-health demand rather than surgical procedure volume. The code's mismatch with actual solicitations signals either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local health procurement practice.
