UNSPSC 85771856: Control bleeding in right upper extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to control bleeding in right upper extremity, open 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 0X360ZZ

UNSPSC 85771856 Control bleeding in right upper extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical hemostasis or orthopedic interventions. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and management services — including comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged to the code, or the code itself is being applied to healthcare contracting in a manner divorced from its nominal clinical scope. State and local procurement officers are purchasing healthcare services contracts through this taxonomy entry, but the work being solicited bears no relationship to surgical bleeding control in the upper extremity.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica). The issuing bodies include county health departments, county boards of commissioners, county human resources divisions, fire departments, and county behavioral health services. The four most recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 are the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for Inmate Medical & Pharmacy Services (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 under the incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC); Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026); Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026); and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows recent activity but carries a serious tagging problem that limits its utility for procurement planning.
