UNSPSC 85771139: Insertion of radioactive element into left lower arm, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left lower arm, open 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 0XHF01Z

UNSPSC 85771139 Insertion of radioactive element into left lower arm, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving radioactive implantation—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out programs for municipal health plans, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these represent the clinical procedure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of opportunities in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is rarely used for actual purchasing activity.

The issuing bodies in the recent records include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation agencies (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for WSF ferry workers across 14 locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit assessments at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor qualification RFP (due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary health professional categories. The code should be monitored for future activity, but current data suggests it is not tracking meaningful state and local procurement volume in surgical or radiological services.
