UNSPSC 85631665: Extirpation of matter from scalp skin, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from scalp 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 0HC0XZZ

UNSPSC 85631665 Extirpation of matter from scalp skin, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope—surgical removal of matter from scalp skin—does not match the medical and healthcare services actually being solicited by state and local agencies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include disability medical evaluations for pension boards, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve dermatological or scalp procedures; the code appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement vehicle for state or local buyers.

The recent opportunities reveal a fragmented issuing-body mix across pension boards (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissioners (Collier County), cities (Long Beach), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), with no pattern of repeated buyers or geographic concentration. No representative opportunities support active procurement under this code's nominal scope. State and local procurement professionals evaluating opportunities in occupational health services, disability evaluations, or temporary clinical staffing should reference the appropriate Family or Class codes within healthcare services rather than rely on 85631665.
