This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer anterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with skin and subcutaneous tissue, 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 0JX40ZB

UNSPSC 85642606 Transfer anterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with surgical protocol or technique. The recent opportunities in the state and local record show little to no relevance to the code's stated scope; instead, issuing bodies have tagged administrative health services, employee benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing under this code without connection to anterior neck tissue transfer or surgical methodology. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy label and actual procurement activity.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for Anthem PPO members (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). These solicitations span state agencies, county health systems, and city retirement and human resources offices primarily in California, Arizona, and Washington. The code's tagging appears to be an administrative miscalibration rather than a signal of active procurement in the surgical procedure domain. Vendors evaluating this code should not expect alignment between the UNSPSC label and the actual goods or services state and local buyers are soliciting.
