UNSPSC 85631606: Replacement of neck 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 neck 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 0HR4XK4

UNSPSC 85631606 Replacement of neck skin with nonautologous tissue substitute, partial thickness, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's UNSPSC designation describes a specific surgical tissue-replacement procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect general administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue grafting or surgical reconstruction.

The recent-opportunities dataset contains six postings across four states (Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington), but only one entry bears any connection to medical evaluation and disability determinations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, requesting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The remaining five opportunities—the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (effective January 1, 2026 with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026)—do not correspond to tissue replacement or reconstructive surgery. The code appears to reflect a data-entry or tagging error in the procurement system; the tissue-replacement procedure it names does not match what state and local governments are actually soliciting under this designation.
