This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of pelvic region subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open 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 0JBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85642929 Excision of pelvic region subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent surgical excision procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC code's clinical scope and actual purchasing activity.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities represent diverse public jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, with go-live targeted April 1, 2027); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between code definition and solicited services, this code warrants reassessment for accurate future activity tracking rather than pursuit under its current clinical taxonomy.
