UNSPSC 85653617: Transfer left upper arm muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left upper arm 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 0KX84ZZ

UNSPSC 85653617 Transfer left upper arm muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities—a prison medical and pharmacy services contract, a county pharmacy benefit management procurement, a virtual primary and urgent care platform solicitation, a peer support services pilot, and a fire department medical director engagement—span healthcare administration, behavioral health, emergency medical services oversight, and benefits management. The code appears to be a misfiled or misapplied taxonomy designation in the state and local procurement systems that have posted these opportunities, as none of the solicitations involve transfer of upper arm muscle tissue or percutaneous endoscopic surgical approaches.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County and Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Santa Monica Fire Department) and county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), reflecting a mix of corrections, employee benefits, emergency services, and mental health administration procurement rather than surgical or orthopedic care procurement. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, with recent activity concentrated in Florida (two opportunities in 2026) and dispersed activity across the Southeast and West Coast. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical or musculoskeletal procedure services; business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for purposes of pursuing surgical contracting opportunities and verify the correct UNSPSC designation with the issuing agencies directly.
