UNSPSC 85813905: Introduction of other therapeutic substance into muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other therapeutic substance into muscle, percutaneous approach. This administrative 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 3E023GC

UNSPSC 85813905, Introduction of other therapeutic substance into muscle, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to the recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure—intramuscular injection of therapeutic substances—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not map to the procedure itself. Instead, they span telehealth delivery, comprehensive healthcare administration, occupational health services, cancer screening, and behavioral health programming—activities that may incidentally include intramuscular injections but are not organized or procured around that specific medical procedure. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), county health authorities and departments (Nevada Health Authority, DeKalb County Georgia, Rockland County New York), municipal health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, City of Phoenix, City of Ocala, Seminole County Florida), and state behavioral health agencies (Colorado Department of Human Services, Sedgwick County and City of Wichita Kansas). The geographic spread is national, with substantial recent activity in California, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, and Kansas.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between code scope and actual procurement: Inland Empire Health Plan posted an RFI for Virtual Urgent Care Services (due October 31, 2026) seeking 24/7 telehealth evaluation and medication management through California board-certified physicians; the Nevada Health Authority issued an RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations (proposals due December 10, 2026) encompassing multidisciplinary geriatric care across defined service areas; San Mateo Medical Center solicited Cancer Registry Services (due October 12, 2026) for casefinding and tumor registry maintenance at an acute-care hospital; and Sedgwick County and City of Wichita posted four separate RFPs for opioid use disorder treatment, prevention, and recovery services (proposals due September 15, 2026) funded through opioid settlement proceeds. The code appears to be a miscategorization error in the state and local procurement taxonomy, as no recent opportunity targets procurement of the intramuscular injection procedure itself, nor is contract volume or frequency observable. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for contracting purposes and verify UNSPSC categorization directly with issuing bodies before pursuit.
