UNSPSC 85651826: Excision of right thorax muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right thorax muscle, 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 0KBH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85651826 Excision of right thorax muscle, open approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not align with surgical intervention. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, Centers of Excellence benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific open surgical procedure on thoracic musculature—and the actual solicitations (medical surveillance programs, pension disability assessments, pharmacy administration, and staffing pools) indicates that this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated definition. State and local jurisdictions sourcing under this code are primarily issuing bodies with employee health and retirement obligations: a state transportation agency, county-level human resources and pension boards, a municipal retirement office, a county health system, and county procurement divisions managing employee benefit programs.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not support a meaningful procurement focus; vendors pursuing state and local work in medical services, occupational health, or benefits administration should verify correct UNSPSC classification before response, as the code's nominal scope diverges substantially from actual buying activity.
