UNSPSC 85653546 Destruction of right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the surgical destruction of musculature described by the code's nominal name. The issuing bodies are diverse municipal and county agencies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (managing fire and police pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (health benefits administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention health services), Collier County (pharmacy and health benefits), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). This pattern suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurement that falls outside its stated scope.

The geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara, Collier), Washington (Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a $750,000 five-year term and October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with a two-year initial term and October 9, 2026 response deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 response deadline. The code shows no coherent medical procedure or surgical focus and should be verified for correct classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
