This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left upper 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 0X0907Z

UNSPSC 85771252 Alteration of left upper arm with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its surgical-procedure nomenclature and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's literal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical technique—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this tag.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for public-sector employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve autologous tissue alteration or orthopedic reconstruction. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) calls for baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summarization and examination coordination for public safety pension determinations; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) addresses Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, and other non-specific procedures offered on a voluntary basis to municipal employees. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county pension boards, city retirement offices, county health systems, and other municipal agencies with employee health and benefit responsibilities. Opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida.

This code appears to be misapplied to state and local health benefits, occupational medicine, and staffing activities. The recent-solicitation activity under this tag reflects no current market for the specific surgical procedure the code names. Vendors pursuing state and local medical services should verify that their actual service scope aligns with the specific code assigned in each RFP rather than relying on this code's nominal definition.
