UNSPSC 85642792: Destruction of face subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of face 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 0J513ZZ

UNSPSC 85642792 Destruction of face subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure—destruction of facial subcutaneous tissue and fascia via percutaneous methods—yet the six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the facial tissue procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement systems are using this code as a catch-all for broad health services categories rather than the specific dermatological or plastic surgery procedure the code describes.

The recent opportunities do reveal activity across multiple issuing-body types: county health systems and boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award). The code as currently applied does not represent a meaningful procurement category for firms in facial tissue procedures or related specialties.
