UNSPSC 85652043: Resection of left thorax muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left thorax muscle, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0KTJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85652043 Resection of left thorax muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it solicit medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none involving thoracic muscle resection. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently to health services procurement more broadly. The actual work being purchased spans occupational health examinations, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical care coordination, and ancillary clinical staffing, reflecting administrative and occupational health functions rather than a defined surgical procedure.

Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county human resources and benefits offices, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal retirement boards. Recent opportunities posted by the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out networks for employees), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth) span July through September 2026. Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The misalignment between code definition and actual procurement suggests this Commodity code is not the appropriate vehicle for pursuing state and local health services work, and vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their target opportunities.
