This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper lip with nonautologous 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 0CR00KZ

UNSPSC 85581132 Replacement of upper lip with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The code's abstract description—a specific reconstructive surgical procedure—does not match the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The six most recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve upper lip reconstruction or tissue grafting. The issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). The mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the actual procurements suggests either a data classification error or a legacy tagging artifact rather than a category actively used for acquisitions aligned with the procedure name.

Activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State (WSDOT), with one inquiry from Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated November 30, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for employees enrolled in the Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027). Vendors evaluating this code should verify procurement categorization with issuing bodies directly, as the recent opportunity mix does not reflect the code's stated surgical procedure scope.
