UNSPSC 85653531: Drainage of right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower arm and wrist 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 0K993ZZ

UNSPSC 85653531 Drainage of right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with state and local government procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the concrete work state and local agencies are actually buying. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, youth detention medical services, and disability medical evaluations—none of which involve the orthopedic drainage procedure the code purports to name. The mismatch appears to reflect classification error in the source data rather than legitimate procurement activity under the code's stated definition.

The six recent opportunities in the record span multiple issuing bodies and geographies but bear no coherent relationship to the code itself. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out administration for its employee health plan (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in annual spending (deadline passed April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical intervention. This code should be watched only if the classification error is corrected and the code is reassigned to opportunities that actually involve the stated procedure.
