This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right shoulder muscle with 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 0KX50Z1

UNSPSC 85651723 Transfer right shoulder muscle with subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful relationship to the code's clinical scope. The five opportunities on record — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — are administrative healthcare contracting, benefit plan management, telemedicine platform services, mental health peer support, and medical oversight roles. None involve surgical tissue transfer procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical taxonomy.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with no dominant state or regional pattern. The issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, consolidated municipal governments, county behavioral health agencies, and city fire departments — a mixed public-sector base with no repeat buyer. The single solicitation closest to healthcare procurement substance is the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), which requires five years of experience managing healthcare for facilities with populations around 600 inmates and NCCHC accreditation. The mismatch between the code's clinical title and the actual work being solicited suggests that this UNSPSC category may be incorrectly applied by issuing offices or that procurement systems are using this code as a catch-all for unrelated health services. Business development professionals should treat activity under this code with caution and verify the actual scope of work in the underlying solicitation documents rather than relying on the code name.
