UNSPSC 85642666: Extraction of anterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of anterior 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 0JD40ZZ

UNSPSC 85642666 Extraction of anterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical extraction procedures; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local issuing bodies—including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners—are using this code to tag healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management contracts rather than operative surgical services.

The geographic spread of activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with apparent successful bidder announcement on October 20, 2026. The code shows limited relevance to its stated surgical commodity—vendors pursuing work under this UNSPSC classification should verify the actual scope before bid preparation, as the recent record suggests systematic misclassification or code drift rather than genuine surgical procedure procurement.
