UNSPSC 85632508: Extirpation of matter from left breast, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0HCU7ZZ

UNSPSC 85632508 Extirpation of matter from left breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve breast procedures or surgical extirpation. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing arrangements rather than clinical surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. No recent opportunities show actual procurement of breast surgical procedures or related clinical services under this code. The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the activity itself falls outside the code's nominal scope. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's definition and the work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local surgical or procedure-based contracts.
