This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right upper 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 0JQD3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642248 Repair right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations in the block address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the surgical repair procedure named in the commodity description. This code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical procedural services as typically defined in UNSPSC taxonomy.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation entry or use of a broad medical-services catchall that does not reflect procurement specificity. State and local buyers posting under this code in recent months have been the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity classification in source RFPs before committing resources to pursuit.
