This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0JBG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642384 Excision of right lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code are for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a divergence between the code's intended scope and its current application in practice.

The actual opportunities posted under this code span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026) managing disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of alignment between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the health administration and staffing services being solicited, firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope directly with each issuing body rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation.
