UNSPSC 85773133: Insertion of radioactive element into left wrist region, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left wrist region, 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 0XHH01Z

UNSPSC 85773133 Insertion of radioactive element into left wrist region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific surgical procedure involving radioactive implantation—does not match the scope of work appearing in posted opportunities. Instead, recent solicitations under this code tag cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These services span medical administration, benefits contracting, occupational health compliance, and emergency care coordination rather than radioactive element insertion procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being used generically to capture diverse healthcare service procurement without regard to its specific procedural meaning.

Recent opportunities come from Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries division), and Texas (Harris County), with activity spread across city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualification pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These represent the substantive work actually being purchased—none involve the procedure named in the code itself.
