UNSPSC 85771446: Alteration of right upper 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 upper 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 0X083KZ

UNSPSC 85771446 Alteration of right upper arm with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve alteration of upper arm tissue or surgical procedures on specific body parts. This appears to be a taxonomy misalignment between the code's nominal clinical scope and the procurement activity actually tagged to it. State and local issuing bodies — including cities, counties, state departments, and regional health systems — are using this code to solicit medical services, administrative health benefit management, and clinical staffing, but the code's stated procedure-specific definition does not correspond to what is being procured.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because this code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the work being solicited, treat it as showing little relevant recent activity in the domain of surgical alteration procedures. Bidders pursuing state and local opportunities should confirm code assignment with issuing bodies before investing pre-bid effort.
