UNSPSC 85632517: Excision of bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0HBV8ZZ

UNSPSC 85632517 Excision of bilateral breast via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the posted opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit network management, occupational health surveillance, specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bilateral breast excision surgery or correspond to the surgical procedure nomenclature the code names.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope is significant. State and local governments use UNSPSC taxonomy to classify goods and services they buy, and this code appears to have been applied incorrectly to multiple opportunities in the opportunities block. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System all posted work in August and September 2026 that reflects health services administration and staffing rather than surgical procedures. Without recent opportunities that genuinely involve bilateral breast excision or endoscopic surgical services, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals pursuing state and local procurement in the surgical procedure supply chain.
