UNSPSC 85642731: Replacement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0JR53KZ

UNSPSC 85642731 Replacement of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not describe work actually being procured by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve surgical implantation or tissue replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied or that state and local procurement offices are using medical procedure codes to tag administrative health services and benefits management work for which they are poorly suited.

The source contains no solicitations for the surgical or tissue-replacement services the code nominally describes, and issuing bodies across the sample (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System) are pursuing medical administration, staffing, and benefits vendor services rather than clinical procedures. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but this diversity reflects the non-aligned opportunities rather than a coherent procurement pattern under the code's stated scope.
