This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right lower leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JQN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642240 Repair right lower leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code are medical services and staffing contracts — occupational health surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical repair procedures. The code appears to be a miscategorization or data error in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice and probation authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The opportunities themselves—such as the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP for 14 ferry terminals across the Puget Sound region (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (deadline April 9, 2026 for an estimated $8.7 million annually), and County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026)—demonstrate that state and local procurement offices are using this code incorrectly or the taxonomy does not capture healthcare administration and staffing services accurately. Firms pursuing healthcare services contracts should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP rather than relying on the code classification alone.
