UNSPSC 85653331: Supplement left lower arm and wrist muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left lower arm and wrist muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0KUB0KZ

UNSPSC 85653331, Supplement left lower arm and wrist muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited in recent state and local contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code tag procurement for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical supplementation of musculoskeletal tissue. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systemic misalignment between the code's clinical procedure definition and how state and local procurement systems are tagging health services procurement.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine health services demand across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical procedure carve-out management for city employee health plans (RFP, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 specialty categories (RFP, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans state departments, counties, and cities across Arizona, California, and Washington, but the code itself shows no relevant recent procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-supplementation services at the state and local level.
