UNSPSC 85641209: Removal of tissue expander from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of tissue expander from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach. 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 0JPT0NZ

UNSPSC 85641209 Removal of tissue expander from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities. The six recent solicitations posted to state and local procurement channels between July and September 2026 — covering independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are tagged to this surgical-procedure code but describe administrative, managed-care, and staffing services that fall outside the scope of tissue expander removal procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly by issuing bodies during taxonomy classification, and the mismatch signals that this Commodity code does not capture active state and local procurement activity in practice.

State and local governments do not appear to solicit tissue expander removal as a discrete line item or standalone service contract. The code's nominal scope — a specific reconstructive surgical procedure performed at a single anatomical site — aligns with clinical services purchased indirectly through employee health plans, medical benefit carve-outs, or healthcare system contracts rather than as enumerated Commodity-level buys. Business development professionals evaluating this code should assess whether the underlying client need sits at a higher UNSPSC tier (such as surgical services broadly, healthcare administration, or health benefit plan management) where recent state and local activity is concentrated.
