UNSPSC 85651500: Muscles-abdomen hip perineum, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the muscles of the abdomen, hip and perineum with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0K.

UNSPSC 85651500 Muscles-abdomen hip perineum, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure taxonomy label and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and disability-related medical record review—none of which involve the specific anatomical procedure the code name suggests. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems and human services divisions, municipal retirement offices, and municipal procurement services managing employee health benefits. The mismatch between the code descriptor and the work being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed for broader health-services administration activity.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 on August 26, 2026, for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees through Centers of Excellence, with an October 7, 2026 response date. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Given the coding misalignment and the diversity of health administration services appearing under this code, business development professionals should verify procurement system classification directly rather than relying on the code descriptor alone.
