UNSPSC 85642185: Supplement of right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement of right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic 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 0JUG3JZ

UNSPSC 85642185 Supplement of right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows a mismatch between the clinical medical-device taxonomy label and the work actually being procured. The code appears in recent state and local opportunities that solicit general medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and medical evaluation coordination — none of which involve surgical implantation of synthetic tissue substitutes in the lower arm. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources departments, state transportation authorities, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems. No recent opportunities in the source material actually solicit the implantable medical device or surgical procedure that the code nominally describes.

The geographic distribution of activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The most recent solicitations are the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool RFP (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity scope and should be evaluated for classification accuracy rather than pursued on the assumption that recent opportunities match the implant device intended by the UNSPSC taxonomy.
