This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of tissue expander from 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 0JPS0NZ

UNSPSC 85642647 Removal of tissue expander from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for tissue expander removal; however, the six recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations directly procure the specific surgical procedure the code name describes, and no issuing bodies are soliciting tissue expander removal as a line item or service offering.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the actual opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing procurement offices or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement more broadly. Activity comes from Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office disability evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026; Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County juvenile probation medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies span city governments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category for tissue expander removal procedures in state and local markets and warrants verification of correct coding before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
