UNSPSC 85631026: Replacement of chest skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of chest skin with nonautologous tissue 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 0HR5XK4

UNSPSC 85631026 Replacement of chest skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical tissue replacement procedures—does not align with the six posted state and local opportunities tagged to it between July and September 2026. Those solicitations instead reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), specialty surgical benefit networks (City of Long Beach), emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities request tissue substitutes, surgical implants, or grafting materials for chest wall repair.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work posted under it suggests either a taxonomy coding error in the state and local procurement system that applied this code to these opportunities, or a widespread misclassification affecting visibility of legitimate procurement activity in this Commodity category. Business development professionals should verify directly with purchasing offices whether chest skin substitute procurement occurs under alternative codes or whether chest wall reconstruction services are rarely solicited through state and local channels at present.
