UNSPSC 85631977: Removal of synthetic substitute from right breast, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0HPT0JZ

UNSPSC 85631977 Removal of synthetic substitute from right breast, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the breast, yet none of the six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve breast surgery or related orthopedic implant removal. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluation services (Phoenix pension boards), surgical carve-out benefit programs (Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System), and emergency medical services for youth in custody (Harris County). The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data integrity issue in the UNSPSC tagging at the source.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting activity across multiple states and issuing bodies (city retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement departments, state transportation agencies, and juvenile justice authorities). The one opportunity bearing the closest relationship to medical services—the occupational medical surveillance RFP from the Washington State Department of Transportation due October 9, 2026—requires physician board-certification in occupational medicine and covers baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry personnel across 14 Washington locations. Without a meaningful alignment between the code's stated scope and actual recent procurement, vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
