UNSPSC 85653334 Supplement right lower arm and wrist muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue replacement in the forearm and wrist. However, the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the indexed opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a defined surgical intervention—and the actual opportunities suggests that the code has been applied broadly to encompass healthcare services procurement more generally, or that the tagging reflects administrative classification rather than clinical procedure specificity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health departments and ferries authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicitation (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety pension boards, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; and the City of Long Beach solicitation (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for city employees and retirees enrolled in an Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure scope in recent state and local procurement.
