This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85653521 "Excision of left lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect health and human services contracting — medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit programs, emergency youth detention medical care, and temporary clinical staffing — rather than surgical procedure codes. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to administrative and operational healthcare service procurements that fall outside the scope of procedural medical billing and coding taxonomy.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice authorities, and county commissioners' offices. Recent solicitations originate in Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services and disability record review supporting public safety pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry service locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. The code shows no decision-relevant alignment with the procedural medical services its name suggests.
