UNSPSC 85653205: Release left upper arm muscle, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left upper arm muscle, external 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 0KN8XZZ

UNSPSC 85653205 Release left upper arm muscle, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains five opportunities tagged to this code, but none involve surgical procedures, orthopedic services, or medical interventions on the upper arm; instead, they cover inmate healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which align with the code's stated scope of surgical release of upper arm musculature.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for actual service contracting. State and local buyers rarely solicit surgical procedures through public procurement channels at the UNSPSC Commodity level; when they do, they typically code them under broader healthcare services families rather than anatomically specific codes. If your firm pursues contracts in correctional healthcare, municipal employee health benefits, or fire department medical services, the opportunities shown are valuable, but they are not procured under UNSPSC 85653205. Review the broader healthcare services families (such as general health and medical services codes) to target the actual demand that these five jurisdictions—Columbus-Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California; and Santa Monica, California—are signaling in their RFPs.
