UNSPSC 85651170: Removal of synthetic substitute from upper muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0KPX0JZ

UNSPSC 85651170 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities presented in the source material. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. The code's nominal scope (surgical removal of synthetic muscle substitutes) does not match the buying activity reflected in current solicitations, indicating either a classification mismatch in the source data or minimal relevant recent procurement under this code.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries; County of Santa Clara Health System), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office; City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the healthcare-administration and occupational-medicine work actually being solicited, pursuit of opportunities under this code should focus on clarifying whether the classification represents a data error or whether the code genuinely encompasses broader occupational and administrative medical services in state and local procurement systems.
