UNSPSC 85653415: Reattachment of left lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left 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 0KMB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85653415 Reattachment of left lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach (Commodity) shows a sharp mismatch between the code's nominal surgical procedure scope and the state and local opportunities actually tagged under it. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not center on orthopedic surgical services or reattachment procedures; instead, it spans occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these procurements represent surgical reattachment work or closely related surgical procedures. The code's application to these opportunities appears to reflect a tagging error rather than genuine alignment with the Commodity's surgical scope.

The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services with proposals due October 16, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and current procurement activity, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity for firms focused on surgical services or orthopedic procedures.
