UNSPSC 85651342: Excision of perineum muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of perineum 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 0KBM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85651342 Excision of perineum muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with nominal scope in surgical procedures, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this medical-procedure classification. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve excision of perineum muscle or percutaneous surgical approaches. The code appears to have been misapplied to health services administration and occupational health contracting rather than procedural surgery, suggesting either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC nomenclature and the work actually being solicited.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with response due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with response due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid August 31, 2026; and the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out management with response due October 7, 2026. The code does not support meaningful pursuit without clarification of the underlying procurement intent.
