UNSPSC 85652590: Destruction of head muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of head 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 0K504ZZ

UNSPSC 85652590 Destruction of head muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-outs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated procedure name. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating broad use of the code across jurisdiction types. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the code is being misapplied by procurement offices or the code itself is mislabeled in the taxonomy.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP, cost-based scoring, two-year initial term with extension options); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP, $750,000 maximum over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). Because the code shows no material alignment with the services actually being procured, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for their service line before pursuing opportunities listed under this category.
