UNSPSC 85771152: Insertion of other device into right upper arm, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of other device into right upper 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 0XH80YZ

UNSPSC 85771152 Insertion of other device into right upper arm, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-device-procedure scope and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve insertion of devices into the upper arm. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to general healthcare procurement solicitations rather than to the specific orthopedic or medical-device procedures its UNSPSC name describes. State and local issuing bodies using this code tag span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions, reflecting fragmentation across health administration, occupational safety, and detention healthcare functions.

Recent opportunities under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services managing Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Washington, Arizona, and Florida (Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP), with isolated county-level solicitations in Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation). The classification signals little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on medical devices or implantable procedures; businesses pursuing contracts under this code should verify the actual scope in each RFP rather than rely on the UNSPSC code name.
