UNSPSC 85771430: Alteration of right 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 right 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 0X0D3KZ

UNSPSC 85771430 Alteration of right lower arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving prosthetic or grafted tissue reconstruction of the lower arm performed percutaneously, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical care-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve lower-arm reconstruction or tissue substitution procedures. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county health systems, municipalities, and special-purpose districts, but the work actually being solicited diverges substantially from the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of solicitation or that this code captures administrative or procurement taxonomy misalignment rather than the clinical procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County and Harris County in Texas). Given the absence of lower-arm surgical reconstruction procedures in any recent opportunity and the presence of only tangentially related occupational health, benefits administration, and medical staffing services, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on surgical implants, tissue substitutes, or orthopedic reconstruction. Prospective vendors should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy with issuing bodies or seek opportunities in higher-tier health professional services codes if they supply temporary staffing or medical evaluation services, rather than pursue work under this Commodity code in its current state.
