This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of tissue expander in head and neck 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 0JWS0NZ

UNSPSC 85642613 Revision of tissue expander in head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical revision of tissue expanders—shows little alignment with the state and local opportunities recently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve tissue expander revision or surgical implant procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all container for state and local health services purchasing that does not clearly map to the code's surgical-procedure definition.

Recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026) covering 14 ferry system locations, and the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity, this code appears inactive or misaligned for surgical implant services at the state and local level.
