This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0KXB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85653609 Transfer left lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The six recent solicitations tracked under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures on the forearm or wrist. The issuing bodies are a mix of municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The code shows substantial activity but the procurement taxonomy mismatch suggests the UNSPSC categorization may not reflect actual medical service delivery or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting outside its intended clinical scope.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including radiology, therapy, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). Activity under this code is active but clinically misaligned with its title.
