UNSPSC 85642246: Repair right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right lower arm 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 0JQG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642246 Repair right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical repair work. Instead, the code appears to be capturing a broader portfolio of occupational health, disability evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. The actual work being solicited includes independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, radiology, orthopedics, surgical services, and related ancillary disciplines. This mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual services under procurement suggests the code is being used as a catch-all or default category for health services that do not fit more precise surgical or clinical codes.

Issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications due October 16, 2026 with a five-year term valued at $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for its employee and retiree health plan due October 7, 2026 with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals due October 9, 2026 with a two-year base term and options to extend for up to five additional one-year periods; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026 with no guaranteed work volume.
