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 0HM4XZZ

UNSPSC 85631651 Reattachment of neck skin, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not center on the surgical service itself. Instead, issuing bodies are using the code to solicit occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's literal procedural name. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or the code's use as a catch-all for health services contracting more broadly. The actual work being solicited under this code spans occupational medicine examinations, independent medical record review and evaluation scheduling, Center of Excellence surgical networks, pharmacy administration, and ancillary clinical staffing placement.

The issuing-body mix includes city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County), and multiemployer health consortiums. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years, covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety retirees); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (two-year term with optional extensions, requiring examinations across 14 ferry system locations); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026 (non-exclusive pool for temporary ancillary clinical professionals across 13 service categories). The code shows recent solicitation activity but the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement requests creates uncertainty about classification consistency in the opportunities pipeline.
