UNSPSC 85631966: Repair bilateral breast, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair bilateral breast, 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 0HQV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85631966 Repair bilateral breast, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical repair of bilateral breast tissue.

The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a coding error in the source records or that this code is being misapplied to general healthcare and medical services procurement. The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county consolidated governments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Without alignment between the code's surgical focus and the healthcare administration, pharmacy management, virtual care, and behavioral health services being actually procured, this code presents no clear procurement signal for vendors pursuing contracts matching the nominal scope of bilateral breast repair surgery.
