UNSPSC 85642748: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JPS3KZ

UNSPSC 85642748 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for tissue removal, yet recent opportunities tagged to this code—medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve removal of tissue substitutes from head and neck regions. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a categorical misclassification in the source data or that this code does not meaningfully capture state and local procurement activity in medical services contracting.

The few opportunities present span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas jurisdictions including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. The activities are administrative medical services, employee benefit carve-outs, occupational health compliance, detention-facility healthcare, pharmacy administration, and temporary staffing qualification pools—none of which align with surgical removal of tissue substitutes. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive for substantive medical device or surgical-procedure procurement and investigate whether opportunities in occupational health, benefits administration, or clinical staffing belong under different UNSPSC family or class codes.
