UNSPSC 85642694: Alteration of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of posterior 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 0J050ZZ

UNSPSC 85642694 Alteration of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on neck tissue, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the surgical alteration of posterior neck anatomy. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how solicitations are being tagged, or the code's use at the state and local level differs substantially from its nominal medical procedure definition.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county jurisdictions (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of any state or local solicitations that actually procure surgical alteration services under this code, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing procedure-specific orthopedic or surgical contracting.
