UNSPSC 85764563: Alteration of face with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of face with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0W023KZ

UNSPSC 85764563 Alteration of face with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with facial alteration procedures or the procedural medical services the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests that the code has been incorrectly applied to a broader category of healthcare administration and occupational health contracting rather than reconstructive or cosmetic facial procedures.

No state and local government opportunities soliciting actual facial alteration services, tissue substitutes, or related surgical procurement appear in the recent posting activity. The issuing bodies active under this code designation include municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county government (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), but their work involves benefits administration, staffing services, and occupational health screening rather than procurement of facial reconstruction supplies or services. Until the code application is corrected in the source systems, this designation does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vendors in medical devices, tissue substitutes, or facial surgical services.
