UNSPSC 85631850 Alteration of bilateral breast with synthetic substitute, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical breast augmentation—bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. Recent opportunities solicited under this code include independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty medical staffing, and emergency healthcare for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve breast surgery or plastic surgery procedures of any kind. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy descriptor and actual state and local buying activity, suggesting either a data-entry error in the source records or a systematic miscoding of health-plan administration and occupational medicine services.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments managing employee health benefits (City of Long Beach), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. The mismatch between the code's descriptor and the actual solicitations—none of which involve surgical procedures—makes this code unsuitable for vendor planning or market assessment in plastic surgery or related surgical services.
