UNSPSC 85651915: Extirpation of matter from left trunk muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left trunk muscle, percutaneous 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 0KCG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85651915 Extirpation of matter from left trunk muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title reflects a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations filed under it do not align with orthopedic or surgical intervention work. Instead, the code captures administrative healthcare contracting — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying the code as a catch-all for medical and health-related services broadly, not solely for the percutaneous surgical procedure the code name describes.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington State, California, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026) with cost-based scoring at 40 percent weight; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026) covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no concentration among repeat buyers or geography — activity is scattered across municipal, state, and county health administration functions with no issuing body appearing twice in the recent block.
