UNSPSC 85631008: Replacement of buttock skin with synthetic substitute, partial thickness, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of buttock skin with synthetic substitute, partial thickness, 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 0HR8XJ4

UNSPSC 85631008 Replacement of buttock skin with synthetic substitute, partial thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve buttock skin replacement or synthetic skin substitutes. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to health administration and benefits management solicitations.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no meaningful concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with evaluation anticipated by November 30, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ establishing a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive with no guaranteed volume). The code demonstrates coding inconsistency rather than procurement opportunity; firms pursuing state and local health and benefits work should verify opportunity tagging against actual scope before committing resources.
