UNSPSC 85642786: Division of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of 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 0J853ZZ

UNSPSC 85642786, Division of posterior neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal medical procedure taxonomy and the actual state and local procurement activity it is capturing. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical division of posterior neck tissue; instead, they reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services procurement for detained youth. The code appears to be incorrectly applied to administrative and employee health services rather than procedural surgery, and no solicitations in the recent opportunities block describe the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's surgical procedure title and the administrative and occupational health services actually being purchased, this code warrants manual review for reclassification before pursuing opportunities against it.
