UNSPSC 85632518: Excision of bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0HBV7ZZ

UNSPSC 85632518 Excision of bilateral breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth — none of which align with bilateral breast excision procurement. State and local governments do not procure surgical procedures themselves through the UNSPSC taxonomy as discrete line items; instead, they purchase healthcare service contracts, managed care programs, occupational health services, and staffing vehicles that encompass multiple procedure types. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systemic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that UNSPSC 85632518 is not a meaningful procurement classification for state and local entities.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary ancillary staffing, proposals due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance for ferries staff, RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026). Because these opportunities do not represent genuine procurement under the code's stated scope, the code itself offers little strategic guidance for business development purposes.
