This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of zooplastic tissue in great vessel, 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 02WYX8Z

UNSPSC 85492605 Revision of zooplastic tissue in great vessel, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care coordination — none of which align with the code's stated scope of zooplastic tissue revision procedures. State and local governments are instead using this code tag for broader healthcare administrative and staffing services, occupational medicine, and benefits management. The issuing bodies include city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation agencies, reflecting a mix of healthcare purchasing functions across municipal, county, and state levels rather than a coherent surgical procedure category. No opportunities in the recent block describe actual zooplastic tissue revision surgery or comparable tissue-repair procedures.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services serving Washington State Ferries across 14 locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through centers of excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be misapplied or represents a data-capture error in state and local procurement systems, as the recent solicitation volume does not reflect demand for the clinical procedure the code nominally describes.
