UNSPSC 85632522: Excision of right breast, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0HBT7ZZ

UNSPSC 85632522 Excision of right breast, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code are principally for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve breast excision or surgical procedure execution as typically understood in clinical contexts. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual solicitations suggests this Commodity code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the code has been assigned to administrative medical-evaluation and benefit-administration services that do not involve the surgical procedure itself.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span multiple jurisdictions and entity types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona pension administration), the City of Long Beach (California municipal health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (state occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas county youth detention medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida county employee benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California county clinical staffing). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract and response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026. This code warrants close review before pursuing — the recent opportunities do not match the surgical-procedure commodity name, and classification inconsistency may signal either administrative mistagging or use of the code for tangential medical-services procurement unrelated to the specific surgical intervention described.
