UNSPSC 85651727: Supplement left thorax muscle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left thorax muscle with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0KUJ07Z

UNSPSC 85651727 Supplement left thorax muscle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgical procedures using autologous tissue. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied in state and local procurement tagging systems, and entities purchasing medical and health services have used it as a catch-all rather than for the specific surgical procedure it describes. State and local procurement offices, county health systems, and city retirement boards are among the issuing bodies tagged under this code, but the actual work being solicited bears no consistent relationship to thoracic muscle supplementation procedures.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with activity spanning large urban centers (Phoenix, Long Beach, Seattle) and county-level health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). This code shows no decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity purpose; the medical and health services opportunities tagged under it appear to reflect systemic tagging errors rather than legitimate procurement demand for the specific procedure the code describes.
