UNSPSC 85631953: Replacement of left breast using transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left breast using transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, 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 0HRU076

UNSPSC 85631953 Replacement of left breast using transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific reconstructive surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants, surgical benefit program administration through Centers of Excellence, pediatric emergency and specialty healthcare in a detention setting, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern breast reconstruction surgery. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or jurisdictional use of this code outside its intended UNSPSC classification. State and local purchasing offices occasionally apply broader or tangential codes to healthcare services when more granular medical procedure or vendor-management codes are unavailable or unfamiliar. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this code; the current activity sample does not represent breast reconstruction procurement.
