UNSPSC 85642382: Excision of right hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right hand 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 0JBJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642382 Excision of right hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve excision of subcutaneous tissue or fascia procedures. The mismatch indicates either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for healthcare services broadly rather than reflecting the discrete surgical procedure the code nominally names.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 (maximum contract compensation $750,000 over five years), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026. Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured, this code should be approached with caution — verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any target opportunity before committing resources to proposal development.
