UNSPSC 85651844: Division of right thorax muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 0K8H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85651844 Division of right thorax muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure name but does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical networks for employee health plans—none of which concern thoracic surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal code name and the actual procurement activities suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local systems or that this particular code designation is not being used as originally designed.

The geographic spread of the loosely related opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, county health systems, and state departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, offering $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities directly relate to thoracic surgical procedures, indicating that firms relying on this code for procedure-specific procurement signals should verify the actual scope against the solicitation language before committing business development resources.
