This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of left upper 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 0J8F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85642437 Division of left upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical intervention or anatomical division work. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal clinical scope. The issuing bodies are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (procuring a surgical carve-out benefits program), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pools). The work actually being purchased under this code appears to reflect public-sector health administration, benefits management, and occupational health services rather than operative procedures.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference scheduled August 31; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 deadline; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity clearly aligned with its stated surgical procedure definition, suggesting either a persistent tagging mismatch in these jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code is being used administratively for health services procurement that falls outside its intended clinical taxonomy.
