This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left nipple, percutaneous 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 0HCX3ZZ

UNSPSC 85632218 Extirpation of matter from left nipple, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which reflect the specific surgical intervention the code describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the source records or a fundamental disconnect between how this taxonomy is being applied in state and local procurement systems and its intended clinical meaning.

State and local issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities during August and September 2026 under this code, but they reflect health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Without a clear correlation between the code's procedural label and the health services actually being solicited, pursuit decisions should be based on the specific health services categories independently rather than on the code assignment itself.
