UNSPSC 85651169: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper muscle, open 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 0KPX0KZ

UNSPSC 85651169 "Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper muscle, open approach" is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with current state and local procurement activity; the code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employee health plans. The recent solicitations target medical administration, benefit management, and occupational health services rather than the surgical procedure the code name implies. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county governments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices, reflecting a mix of health plan administration, occupational safety, and benefits procurement rather than facility-based surgical services.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering approximately 3,800 enrolled city employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 enrollees with a three-year contract term and historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope and likely represents a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement systems.
