UNSPSC 85653517: Extirpation of matter from left upper arm muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper arm muscle, percutaneous 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 0KC83ZZ

UNSPSC 85653517 Extirpation of matter from left upper arm muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code — independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with orthopedic or surgical extraction procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure (percutaneous removal of tissue from the upper arm), but state and local contract opportunities in this period are soliciting administrative healthcare services, provider networks, and staffing arrangements rather than the surgical intervention the code names.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the administrative or procurement-focused services being bought suggests either a data-tagging error or that state and local procurement offices rarely use this particular commodity code for actual contracting. No active pursuit under this code is warranted absent clarification that the code applies to medical procedures procured directly by state or local health systems, which the available opportunities do not support.
