This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from hair, 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 0HPSXKZ

UNSPSC 85631130 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from hair, external approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry system workers, and emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth — none of which concern hair or tissue removal procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these issuing bodies are tagging their health services procurements. State and local governments using this code designation are actually buying occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, and emergency medical services for specific populations, performed by licensed physicians and coordinated through centralized administrative arrangements.

The recent opportunities originate from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with proposals due between late September and mid-October 2026. The City of Phoenix is seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under its Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 via RFP. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty hospital-based healthcare services for detained youth, with responses due September 25, 2026. The code shows little relevant procurement activity in its actual clinical scope.
