UNSPSC 85642371: Extirpation of matter from left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 0JCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642371, Extirpation of matter from left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical procedure taxonomy does not align with the medical and occupational health services that state and local governments are actively soliciting under this classification.

The recent opportunities associated with this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these services involves the specific subcutaneous tissue removal procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, juvenile probation departments, and municipal benefits administrators — a broad mix of health care purchasers and public employee benefit administrators. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), though the code shows little relevant procurement coherence. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multi-award vendor pool qualification for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to represent a taxonomy misclassification rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers.
