UNSPSC 85632017: Extirpation of matter from right breast, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0HCT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85632017 Extirpation of matter from right breast, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure within clinical healthcare delivery. However, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical interventions. The four opportunities posted since February 2026 represent comprehensive managed healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy programs, pharmacy benefit management for county employee populations, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a particular breast surgery procedure. This appears to be a systematic misclassification issue in how state and local procurement bodies are tagging healthcare service contracts to UNSPSC codes.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of state and local healthcare purchasers: Muscogee County Prison (via Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and the Santa Monica Fire Department. The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, Florida, California, and California, with no evident concentration. Because the opportunities solicited under this code are functionally unrelated to the code's medical procedure definition, pursuing this code based on its nominal scope would likely yield no meaningful pipeline. Business development professionals should verify procurement classification systems directly with issuing bodies or use alternative UNSPSC codes aligned with managed healthcare delivery, employee health services, or emergency medical services rather than rely on this code's recent tagging.
