UNSPSC 85631142: Extraction of hair, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of 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 0HDSXZZ

UNSPSC 85631142, Extraction of hair, external approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name refers to a specific medical or dermatological procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hair extraction or match the code's title. The issuing bodies range from city retirement offices and municipal health departments to county health systems and state transportation agencies, but the opportunities themselves address broad healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than the narrow procedure the code nominally describes.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide through WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but these postings appear to reflect misclassification rather than genuine demand under the code. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing opportunities in healthcare services, employee benefits administration, or clinical staffing should verify the actual scope of work rather than rely on the UNSPSC coding provided by issuing bodies.
