UNSPSC 85652569: Excision of facial muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of facial muscle, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0KB14ZZ

UNSPSC 85652569 Excision of facial muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure classification; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with the nominal scope and instead reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks for employee benefits, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is not reliably used by state and local procurement offices for the medical services they are currently buying, or the opportunities in the source material have been misclassified. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a typical mix of state agencies and local government health and benefits purchasers.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with examinations required across 14 statewide ferry locations; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology) due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ for a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal clinical scope and the benefits-administration and occupational-health work actually being sourced, business development professionals should verify code accuracy with the specific issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to this number.
