UNSPSC 85772338: Alteration of left axilla with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left axilla 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 0X053KZ

UNSPSC 85772338, Alteration of left axilla with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure using implanted nonautologous tissue—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it by state and local issuing bodies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the surgical alteration procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the opportunities indexed to this UNSPSC or that the code is used as a catch-all for medical-service categories that lack a more precise commodity designation.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health agencies (City of Long Beach), county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System) across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract term and response due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services tied to historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually, with proposal deadline April 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being bought, this code is not a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity and should be considered suspect when encountered in future solicitation review.
