UNSPSC 85651340: Excision of left hip muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left hip muscle, 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 0KBP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85651340 Excision of left hip muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which constitute surgical excision procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are categorizing health and medical contracting work.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to prepare disability medical records and coordinate physician examinations for public safety pension applicants; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 covered lives; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026). The code shows insufficient recent activity that genuinely reflects excision surgery procurement; exercise caution before treating this code as a reliable signal for state and local medical contracting strategy.
