UNSPSC 85642683: Drainage of scalp subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of scalp 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 0J900ZZ

UNSPSC 85642683 Drainage of scalp subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with scalp drainage procedures or operative interventions. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a systemic divergence between the code's intended scope and current application in state and local procurement.

The opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies including state health departments, county human resources and pension boards, city retirement offices, and special districts. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (due October 7, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually historically); the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state. Because the code shows no documented recent opportunities in scalp surgical drainage or related operative procedures, pursuit under this code classification is not advisable without clarification of the underlying procurement intent.
