This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from chest skin, 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 0HC5XZZ

UNSPSC 85631052 Extirpation of matter from chest skin, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedural scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit chest-wall dermatological or surgical services; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health-professional staffing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems and probation departments, county commissioners, and state transportation authorities. The code's nominal scope and the work being actively procured bear little substantive connection.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferries employees across 14 locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners is procuring pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health-professional staffing across 13 categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code classification appears misaligned with the actual procurement content.
