UNSPSC 85772340: Alteration of left axilla with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left axilla with autologous 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 0X0537Z

UNSPSC 85772340, Alteration of left axilla with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procedure name—instead, they reflect medical management, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing services, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual contracting activity tagged to it. No recent solicitations are seeking the surgical alteration procedure the code describes.

State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify contracts with medical terminology, and this code appears to exemplify that misalignment. The Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve axillary tissue reconstruction. State and local buyers interested in surgical procedure codes should verify coding accuracy through the issuing body's scope documents rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone.
