UNSPSC 85651722: Transfer right shoulder muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right shoulder muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, 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 0KX50Z2

UNSPSC 85651722 Transfer right shoulder muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—musculocutaneous tissue transfer on the shoulder performed via open surgical approach—yet the recent solicitations posted under or near this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these services involve the operative orthopedic procedure the code ostensibly describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a taxonomy misalignment between UNSPSC surgical procedure codes and the health services actually being tagged and purchased by public agencies.

The recent activity does reflect strong demand across state and local jurisdictions for occupational health programs, disability medical record review and evaluation coordination, pharmacy administration, clinical temporary staffing, and specialty medical networks—services that fall outside this code's orthopedic surgical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing pool across multiple ancillary categories, RFP due October 7, 2026) represent the current procurement profile—none operationally related to musculocutaneous shoulder transfer procedures. Prospective vendors should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity and verify their commodity alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
