UNSPSC 85631636 Replacement of scalp skin with synthetic substitute, external approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare administration and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures or dermatological implants. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program manager; the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) is seeking occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. These solicitations span administrative health benefits management, employee occupational health monitoring, and clinical staffing coordination—none directly connected to scalp skin replacement procedures or synthetic dermal substitutes.

The issuing-body mix includes county health systems, county human resources and benefits functions, a state transportation agency's ferries division, a county probation department, and county procurement offices. The geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The code shows no recent opportunities for actual scalp skin replacement products, synthetic substitutes, or related surgical consumables that would align with the code's clinical scope. This code warrants close attention to future RFPs and RFQs to determine whether the tagging reflects a data entry error or whether state and local buyers have redefined or consolidated procurement under this code for healthcare administration rather than surgical materials.
