UNSPSC 85653346: Resection of right lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right lower arm and wrist muscle, 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 0KT90ZZ

UNSPSC 85653346, Resection of right lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being procured by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating the code is being applied across multiple government sectors rather than for surgical procedures. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant region evident from the recent activity.

The representative recent opportunities show the code's misapplication: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFP on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on August 20, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services with a submission deadline of April 9, 2026. The code appears to be incorrectly assigned to health services procurement categories that do not align with its nominal surgical scope, suggesting either a taxonomy misclassification in the procurement system or erroneous tagging at source.
