UNSPSC 85771427: Alteration of left lower arm with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left lower arm with synthetic 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 0X0F3JZ

UNSPSC 85771427 Alteration of left lower arm with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal description of a specific surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), indicating the code is being used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health and medical administration services rather than as a descriptor of actual orthopedic or limb-alteration procedures.

The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests the taxonomy assignment is either erroneous or the code is being repurposed outside its intended scope. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative current opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification request for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Absent a clearer connection between the code's stated procedure and the health administration and staffing services actually being solicited, this code should be considered inactive for orthopedic or surgical procedure procurement and may warrant review for recategorization.
