This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of pigment into skin and mucous membranes, external approach. This administrative 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 3E00XMZ

UNSPSC 85813303, Introduction of pigment into skin and mucous membranes, external approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span virtual urgent care services, general medical services, nursing home operations, rural healthcare networks, cancer screening and registry services, occupational health and wellness programs, EMS staffing and billing, mental health and behavioral health services, opioid treatment and recovery initiatives, youth crisis stabilization, employee wellness platforms, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of tattooing, permanent makeup application, or similar pigmentation procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a code rarely used for its intended purpose in this market segment.

The issuing bodies span state health departments (Nevada Health Authority, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Human Services, New Jersey Department of Health), county health systems and behavioral health departments (Santa Clara, Ventura, Sedgwick, Seminole, DeKalb, San Mateo), cities and municipalities (Phoenix, Ocala, Atlanta), and independent healthcare entities (Inland Empire Health Plan, San Mateo Medical Center, Boulder County Sheriff's Office). Geographic spread includes California, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Jersey, Kansas, Oregon, and Illinois. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit for pigmentation services, tattoo applications, or permanent makeup—the work that the code nomenclature describes. When the actual procurement activity diverges this sharply from the code's stated scope, skip this code in pursuit strategies unless your firm operates in healthcare service delivery broadly, in which case the code itself remains a poor targeting signal.
