UNSPSC 85581128: Replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous 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 0CR407Z

UNSPSC 85581128, Replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a discrete surgical procedure involving mucosal grafting—does not match the scope of work appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. Instead, recent opportunities center on occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which involve buccal mucosa procedures or oral surgical reconstruction. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee-benefit programs (City of Long Beach), suggesting the code may be misapplied to health-services and benefits-administration work rather than specialty surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County health-system temporary staffing RFSQ, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), Washington State (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department medical-services RFI, due September 25, 2026). The code shows no recent activity genuinely related to oral or maxillofacial tissue-graft surgery and does not reflect a procurement category worth pursuing under its stated clinical definition. Business-development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code represent misfiled health-administration or occupational-health contracting rather than surgical procedure supply or service delivery.
