UNSPSC 85772201: Supplement left axilla with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left axilla with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0XU50KZ

UNSPSC 85772201 Supplement left axilla with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for surgical implant procedures; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no relation to its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities solicited under this UNSPSC code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for peer workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these solicitations involve surgical tissue supplementation, implantable devices, or axillary procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity description.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's surgical implant classification and the healthcare administration, mental health services, and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC codes directly with issuing bodies before pursuing any of these opportunities, as the code label does not accurately reflect the work being bought.
