This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0HPU7JZ

UNSPSC 85632409 Removal of synthetic substitute from left breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most-recent contract opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve breast prosthesis removal or related surgical interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data classification error in the source system.

The source shows no recent opportunities that match the code's stated service. Issuers tagging opportunities to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—a geographically dispersed mix of state departments, county agencies, and municipal procurement offices. Because the opportunities are substantively unrelated to the code's procedure-specific definition, this code should not be relied upon for business development targeting or portfolio coverage assessment of actual breast surgery services or prosthetic device procurement.
