UNSPSC 85653522 Excision of right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local governments are not procuring this service under the code. Recent opportunities tagged with this code instead reflect a mismatch between the taxonomy assignment and actual procurement activity, spanning medical evaluation services, health plan benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, detention-facility healthcare, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal surgical scope. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health departments, and regional public health systems, reflecting broad heterogeneity in both jurisdiction type and healthcare function.

The code shows no recent activity genuinely related to surgical procedures. Geographic distribution across recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (statewide ferries operations), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code's assignment to these opportunities appears to reflect administrative or data-entry error rather than genuine commodity alignment, and bidders pursuing state and local healthcare work should verify actual service scope against the specific RFP language rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification.
