UNSPSC 85653450: Destruction of right hand muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right hand 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 0K5C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85653450 Destruction of right hand muscle, open approach is a Commodity code carrying a medical-procedure classification that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address administrative healthcare management, clinical staffing, and occupational medicine programs, none involving surgical destruction of right hand muscle tissue. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a default taxonomy placeholder by issuing bodies entering procurement records into vendor databases; the actual work being solicited falls under healthcare administration and staffing, not orthopedic or hand surgery procedures.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty healthcare for youth), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyers across the sample. Recent RFPs and RFQs posted from August through September 2026 with response dates spanning September through October 2026—including the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing RFQ due October 7, 2026—show consistent activity in healthcare administration and clinical support staffing rather than surgical procedures. The code classification mismatch signals that vendors pursuing opportunities in healthcare administration and occupational or disability medicine should verify actual scope against the RFP or RFQ language rather than relying on UNSPSC coding alone.
