UNSPSC 85642659: Insertion of infusion device into head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into 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 0JHS03Z

UNSPSC 85642659 Insertion of infusion device into head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve insertion of infusion devices or head and neck surgical procedures. Instead, the solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services align with the code's nominal scope of infusion device implantation surgery. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have applied this code to medical services and staffing needs without regard to its specific surgical and device-centered definition.

Recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas across diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a county health system. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requests proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits within its employee PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 statewide ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's surgical-device definition and the health services and staffing work actually being solicited, this code appears to be a data tagging error rather than a reliable vehicle for procurement activity in this commodity area.
