UNSPSC 85771240: Alteration of right lower arm with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right lower arm with autologous 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 0X0D07Z

UNSPSC 85771240 Alteration of right lower arm with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract clinical designation does not align with the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect demand for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth — none of which involve surgical alteration of extremities using autologous tissue. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services procurement rather than reflecting the narrow surgical procedure the code name describes.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in three states: Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), and Florida (Collier County), with an additional entry from Harris County, Texas. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement offices. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year initial term with optional extensions; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a multiple-award qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations warrants clarification with issuing procurement offices before investing in pursuit strategy.
