UNSPSC 85651729: Supplement right thorax muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right thorax muscle with synthetic 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 0KUH0JZ

UNSPSC 85651729 Supplement right thorax muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopedic implantation of synthetic muscle augmentation in the right thorax—yet the recent solicitations tagged under it reflect general-purpose health services procurement unrelated to this narrow clinical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management for Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation is purchasing occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services. None of these solicitations involve thorax muscle supplementation or implantation procedures, nor do they represent medical device procurement or surgical supply contracting typical of procedure-specific UNSPSC codes.

The disconnect between the code definition and actual buying patterns suggests either sustained miscoding within state and local procurement systems or an artifact of broader medical services classification. Geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington reflects general activity in major metropolitan health agencies rather than concentration around specialized surgical services. The recent opportunities span RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs posted August through September 2026 with response deadlines in September and October 2026. Issuers include city and county human resources and health departments, a state transportation agency, and a juvenile justice department. The code does not appear to be a viable target for firms offering thorax muscle implants, orthopedic devices, or procedure-specific surgical supplies.
