This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer face subcutaneous tissue and fascia with skin and subcutaneous tissue, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85642709 Transfer face subcutaneous tissue and fascia with skin and subcutaneous tissue, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. State and local buyers have tagged six opportunities under this code in the past three months, but none involve the surgical tissue transfer procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve subcutaneous tissue transfer procedures or the percutaneous surgical approaches the code specifies.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement offices or that this code has been repurposed in practice to capture a broader family of medical services and evaluations that do not fit the precise clinical definition. Recent opportunities come from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Business development professionals should verify category alignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code, as the procurement activity does not substantively match the surgical procedure nomenclature.
