UNSPSC 85631970: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left breast, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 0HPU0KZ

UNSPSC 85631970, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left breast, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in the source material.

The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services constitute the removal of tissue substitutes or match the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch; state and local procurement activity under this identifier does not track surgical implant removal but rather broader health services administration and staffing.
