UNSPSC 85771426: Alteration of left lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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, percutaneous 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 0X0F3KZ

UNSPSC 85771426 Alteration of left lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical nomenclature — describing a specific surgical procedure on human tissue — does not align with the work state and local agencies are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans. None of these services involve alteration of body parts or tissue substitution. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental gap between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health-services opportunities.

Activity appears across diverse issuing bodies — county health systems, state transportation departments, county pension offices, and county human resources divisions — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Collier County posted an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services. The code does not represent a coherent procurement category and warrants reconsideration or reassignment by the issuing jurisdictions.
