UNSPSC 85771234: Alteration of left lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0X0F0KZ

UNSPSC 85771234 Alteration of left lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification but does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code designation. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic surgical alteration or tissue grafting. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services state and local buyers are actually purchasing. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, state ferries systems, and county juvenile probation departments, indicating fragmented demand across health administration, employee benefits, occupational safety compliance, and detention services rather than surgical procedure procurement.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, seeking examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support approximately 75 annual disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. This code does not reflect meaningful procurement activity in its stated clinical specialty; the mismatch suggests a tagging error rather than genuine state and local demand for the procedure itself.
