This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85642373 Extirpation of matter from left upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans. The code's nominal clinical specificity—a surgical procedure on a single anatomic site—bears no relationship to the health care administration, staffing, and benefit-design services that procurement offices are labeling with it. State and local issuing bodies applying this code span county health systems (Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and human resources divisions (Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and independent transit authorities. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems are classifying health care and benefits administration contracts.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, with evaluation during January–March 2027 and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No meaningful geographic concentration appears; activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. The code does not support reliable signal for business development purposes.
