UNSPSC 85631652: Reattachment of left ear skin, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left ear skin, 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 0HM3XZZ

UNSPSC 85631652 Reattachment of left ear skin, external approach is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical procedure scope that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The six opportunities on file involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which address surgical reattachment of external ear tissue. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect procurement system classification mismatches rather than genuine demand for the specific procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are using UNSPSC 85631652 as a catch-all for health-services contracting rather than procuring a discrete surgical procedure. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, with repeat issuers including county health systems and municipal retirement offices. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Business development professionals should verify actual commodity intent before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
