This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0KC90ZZ

UNSPSC 85653422 Extirpation of matter from right lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical site, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which correspond to the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or that this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services acquisition outside its intended definition.

The recent opportunities, while diverse in scope, cluster around occupational health programs (Washington State Ferries medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026), municipal benefits administration (City of Phoenix pension medical evaluations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out with proposals due October 7, 2026), and health system staffing (County of Santa Clara ancillary health professional pool with proposals due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code's anatomical specificity and the procurement activity actually tagged to it, this code presents minimal decision relevance for vendors pursuing orthopedic or hand surgery service lines.
