UNSPSC 85632408: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left breast, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left breast, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0HPU7KZ

UNSPSC 85632408 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations in Phoenix, surgical benefit carve-out programs in Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers in Washington, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in Harris County, pharmacy benefit management in Collier County, and temporary health professional staffing in Santa Clara County—do not align with tissue substitute removal procedures or related surgical implant services. The code appears to name a specific clinical procedure rather than a procurable service category, and state and local jurisdictions do not solicit tissue substitute removal as a standalone contracting activity in the public procurement market.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the scope of state and local purchasing reflects a broader structural issue: UNSPSC medical procedure codes are designed for clinical billing taxonomy, not procurement classification. State and local buyers seeking healthcare services typically solicit through broad categories such as medical evaluation services, temporary staffing, or benefit management—none of which map to this procedure-specific code. No response date, issuing body, or contract value appears in the recent-opportunities data for this code, and pursuit under this classification is not recommended without first confirming that the actual service need corresponds to tissue substitute removal contracting rather than a miscoded healthcare procurement opportunity.
