UNSPSC 85632449: Insertion of tissue expander into bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of tissue expander into bilateral 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 0HHV7NZ

UNSPSC 85632449 Insertion of tissue expander into bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tissue expander insertion or surgical breast procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual procurement records suggests either systemic tagging error or that the code has been repurposed in a state and local taxonomy for medical services more broadly. The six recent opportunities span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of county human resources and health system procurement offices. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without opportunities explicitly soliciting tissue expander insertion or related surgical implant services, pursuit decisions should be informed by verifying the code's actual scope with the issuing jurisdiction before investment in pursuit infrastructure.
