UNSPSC 85653613: Transfer right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right 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 0KX94ZZ

UNSPSC 85653613 Transfer right lower arm and wrist muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — orthopedic surgical procedure coding — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The opportunities indexed to this code actually reflect health services procurement across several categories: independent disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence coordination, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic transfer procedures or surgical intervention; instead, they cover medical administration, evaluation services, and staffing. The issuing bodies include city pension offices (Phoenix), city personnel departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county employee benefits programs (Collier County). This mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement intent suggests the code may be incorrectly applied by state and local procurement offices posting these opportunities, or the opportunities are being filed under a parent Family or Class code that encompasses broader healthcare service delivery.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, and Florida, with activity concentrated in state health systems and county workforce-adjacent healthcare administration rather than in surgical service lines. Representative 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), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical or procedure-specific work; prospecting firms should verify the intended Commodity or Class code with issuing procurement offices or focus on the broader healthcare staffing and medical administration categories these opportunities actually represent.
