UNSPSC 85653600: Muscles-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the muscles of the upper extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0K.

UNSPSC 85653600 Muscles-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual healthcare procurement activity being conducted by state and local governments. The recent solicitations posted under this code involve comprehensive healthcare services delivery—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve upper extremity surgical procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches; rather, they represent administrative healthcare contracting, service delivery management, and clinical oversight. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida; Muscogee County, Georgia), a California county behavioral health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). State and local agencies appear to be using this code to tag healthcare service contracts broadly rather than procedure-specific procurement.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California and California municipalities. Representative opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department, due May 15, 2026, with current contract cost at $95,537.71 monthly through CorrectHealth Companies LLC), the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (Collier County Procurement Services Division, due April 9, 2026, covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million), and Monroe County's Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services RFP (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, due April 16, 2026, for approximately 2,300 county members). The code assignment appears to be a taxonomic mismatch; business development professionals evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should verify that actual procurement need aligns with upper extremity surgical capabilities rather than relying on the recent opportunity history recorded here.
