UNSPSC 85771447: Alteration of right upper arm with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right upper 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 0X083JZ

UNSPSC 85771447, Alteration of right upper arm with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic or upper-extremity procedural work; instead they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health-professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a jurisdictional use of UNSPSC that departs from the code's intended clinical scope.

The recent opportunities cluster around public-sector health-plan administration and occupational health services rather than direct surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health-professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). These issuances span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and municipal employee benefit programs across Arizona, California, and Washington. The code does not appear to track direct procurement of surgical procedures themselves but rather administrative and staffing services that support healthcare delivery within government employment or retirement contexts.
