UNSPSC 85642254: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower extremity 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 0JPW3JZ

UNSPSC 85642254 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted against this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve the specific subcutaneous tissue removal procedure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied to broader medical and health administration services rather than the specific surgical intervention its name denotes.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single region dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) for disability benefit determinations; WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with five optional one-year extensions) covering 14 Washington ferry locations; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, approximately $8.7 million annually in historical spend). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, the code appears inactive for its stated commodity and should be monitored for continued misapplication or reclassification.
