UNSPSC 85641930: Insertion of tissue expander into right hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of tissue expander into right hand 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 0JHJ0NZ

UNSPSC 85641930, Insertion of tissue expander into right hand subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. However, recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations for this surgical intervention itself. Instead, the code appears in procurement records alongside requests for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code does not reflect the work being bought by state and local governments at present, or the opportunities have been tagged with an inappropriate UNSPSC classification.

The recent opportunities that carry this code span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of these solicitations requests tissue expander implantation services or related orthopedic or reconstructive surgical procedures. Given the absence of aligned procurement activity, this code warrants close attention before pursuit; the classification appears to be erroneous or the code does not currently drive material state and local spending in any jurisdiction tracked by recent opportunities.
