UNSPSC 85652852: Destruction of right lower leg muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right lower leg 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 0K5S0ZZ

UNSPSC 85652852 Destruction of right lower leg muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this identifier. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span medical administration, employee health benefits, and clinical workforce services rather than the surgical destruction of muscle tissue that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a data classification error or a state or local procurement system that applies UNSPSC codes inconsistently. Geographic distribution of the opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, this code warrants verification before pursuit.
