UNSPSC 85642304: Insertion of radioactive element into lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into 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 0JHW31Z

UNSPSC 85642304 Insertion of radioactive element into lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical designation — a specific radioactive implant procedure — does not align with the medical services and administrative healthcare contracting now posted under this code. Recent opportunities tag medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing under this code, none of which involve radioactive element insertion. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation agencies, county human resources divisions, and county health systems, reflecting fragmented adoption of this code across multiple healthcare and administrative purchasing contexts.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out benefits, Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation specialty medical services). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, multiple ancillary clinical categories), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annual spending). The code's use appears driven by administrative tagging inconsistency rather than actual procurement of the procedure it nominally describes; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual work scope in the full solicitation rather than relying on the code title.
