UNSPSC 85651003: Revision of synthetic substitute in lower muscle, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lower muscle, external 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 0KWYXJZ

UNSPSC 85651003 Revision of synthetic substitute in lower muscle, external approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The three current opportunities tagged to this Commodity code reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, and healthcare staffing services — none of which match the nominal scope of orthopedic prosthetic or surgical revision procedures that the code name suggests.

Recent solicitations under this code stem from a diverse issuing-body mix: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance services, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). A fourth posting from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is an RFI seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers for emergency and inpatient care in a youth detention setting. The mismatch between code assignment and actual work—combined with limited posting volume—signals that this code is either misused in current procurement systems or carries minimal activity volume relevant to vendors pursuing orthopedic or prosthetic revision services. No evidence of repeat buyers or sustained procurement patterns under this code appears in the source material.
