This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from posterior 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 0JC53ZZ

UNSPSC 85642769 Extirpation of matter from posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation services, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which align with the surgical procedure specified in the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error in the source data or that this code has been repurposed in state and local taxonomy systems for broader healthcare procurement categories that bear no relationship to the specific procedure named.

The issuing bodies tagged under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on the recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026). Without reliable alignment between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought, this code should be treated as a data quality issue rather than a procurement category warranting active pursuit.
