This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right upper arm 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 0K570ZZ

UNSPSC 85653454 Destruction of right upper arm muscle, open approach, is a Commodity code that carries a clinical medical procedure classification incompatible with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code do not involve surgical destruction of muscle tissue; instead, they reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — services and programs unrelated to the code's nominal surgical scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a failure to use appropriate clinical or healthcare administration UNSPSC codes for these solicitations.

The issuing bodies include Arizona municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), California city government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a Texas county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a Florida county health authority (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and a California county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the lack of alignment between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual work being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering services that match its clinical description.
