This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from chest wall, 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 0WP80KZ

UNSPSC 85761865 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from chest wall, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of tissue substitute from chest wall. State and local governments are not soliciting this specific surgical procedure; instead, they are buying broader occupational health, medical administration, and staffing services. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, and it does not reflect active procurement demand for the procedure it nominally describes.

The jurisdictions soliciting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and independent county departments. Recent opportunities originated in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured, activity under this code is not actionable for firms supplying or performing the listed procedure.
