UNSPSC 85631941: Replacement of bilateral breast with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of bilateral breast with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0HRV07Z

UNSPSC 85631941 Replacement of bilateral breast with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and inpatient hospital services — none of which involve breast reconstruction surgery or autologous tissue grafting. This classification mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to procurement records in the state and local system, or the taxonomy assignment is substantially disconnected from actual procurement activity in this domain.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). The dollar values and scopes vary widely, from a $750,000 five-year medical evaluation contract in Phoenix to an $8.7 million annual pharmacy benefit management program in Collier County. Vendors evaluating this code should be aware that the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment does not currently map to identifiable surgical procedure procurement at the state and local level; any business development effort targeting this code would benefit from clarifying whether the underlying procurement need exists or whether the code classification requires correction.
