UNSPSC 85764264 Alteration of face with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code used inconsistently across state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope; instead, the actual work state and local bodies are buying under this designation spans occupational and disability medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. State and local issuing bodies — including county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions — are treating the code as a catch-all for healthcare administration and specialty medical services rather than facial reconstruction or aesthetic surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County).

The code shows active recent posting but demonstrates significant categorical drift from its stated purpose.
