UNSPSC 85653302: Transfer left hand muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left hand muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, 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 0KXD0Z2

UNSPSC 85653302 Transfer left hand muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal surgical scope and the actual medical services state and local governments are procuring under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services—none of which describe orthopedic muscle transfer procedures. The code appears to be misapplied to broader medical administration, benefits design, and clinical staffing categories rather than specific surgical procedures.

The issuing-body mix includes state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix). Recent opportunities originating from this code span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation request for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement activity, but the lack of alignment between the code's surgical name and what is actually being bought signals either systematic miscoding in these jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code's use within state and local UNSPSC implementation differs materially from federal usage.
