This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left upper arm 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 0KX80Z2

UNSPSC 85653318 Transfer left upper arm muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear little substantive relationship to orthopedic muscle-transfer surgery. The solicitations instead address occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans — none of which align with the code's surgical-procedure scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31). The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County is issuing an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026). Recent activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida across state and county health systems and pension boards, though the mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or a database artifact unrelated to procurement under this Commodity code's intended scope.
