This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement buccal mucosa with synthetic 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 0CU40JZ

UNSPSC 85581108 Supplement buccal mucosa with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no purchases of surgical buccal mucosa implants or related oral surgery supplies. Instead, the code appears to be misapplied to healthcare services procurements: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing (audiology, radiology, therapy services, sterile processing, surgical operating room), and youth detention medical services. These solicitations span medical administration, staffing placement, and clinical service coordination—none involving the oral surgical materials or procedures the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are a mix of state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation/Ferries), county health systems and human services agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity classification.

Geographic activity is distributed across Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation/Ferries), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing pool qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities involve the procurement of surgical implants or materials.
