UNSPSC 85653427 Excision of left lower arm and wrist muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (excision of left lower arm and wrist muscle via open approach), yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code instead solicit medical evaluation services, occupational surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs—none of which match the procedural scope the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health services unrelated to its defined commodity.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span diverse issuing bodies: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) for disability benefit determinations and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being solicited, vendors evaluating this code should verify the specific service category needed rather than rely on the procedural code definition.
