UNSPSC 85642620: Supplement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, 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 0JU50JZ

UNSPSC 85642620 Supplement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not match this medical-procedure scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve posterior neck tissue supplementation or surgical implantation. The code shows a significant mismatch between its taxonomic definition and the work actually being solicited by state and local procurement offices.

The issuing bodies include the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of state departments, county government, and city agencies. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' pharmacy benefit management RFP covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (originally due April 9, 2026, though the posting date of August 20, 2026 suggests a revised timeline). This code exhibits limited procurement relevance to its stated medical-procedure definition and warrants review of the underlying taxonomy assignment.
