UNSPSC 85642258: Removal of radioactive element 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 radioactive element 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 0JPW31Z

UNSPSC 85642258, Removal of radioactive element from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed to classify a highly specialized surgical procedure involving radioactive material extraction from leg tissue, yet the six recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve radioactive material removal or lower-extremity surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than as a code specific to its nominal procedure.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of state agencies, counties, cities, and health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Long Beach, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, with no clear concentration. The most recent opportunities with hard response dates include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026). Because the code does not align with current solicitation content, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for purposes of pursuing lower-extremity surgical or radioactive-material-related work and instead monitor the specific health system and agency solicitations if general medical staffing or occupational health services are within scope.
