UNSPSC 85771717: Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper extremity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left upper extremity, external 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 0XP7XJZ

UNSPSC 85771717 Removal of synthetic substitute from left upper extremity, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities in the source. The recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of synthetic prosthetics or orthotic devices from the upper extremity. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or misalignment between the code's nominal scope and how state and local procurement offices are tagging their medical services activity.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement divisions (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), indicating broad jurisdictional use of the code for medical services contracting. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (two-year term with five one-year extension options), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle. Activity under the code warrants close monitoring to confirm whether future solicitations realign with the code's prosthetic-removal scope or continue to reflect broader medical services procurement.
