UNSPSC 85581324: Replacement of pharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0CRM7KZ

UNSPSC 85581324 Replacement of pharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement channels under this code span independent medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-outs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), youth detention healthcare (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations describe pharyngeal tissue replacement, surgical implantation of artificial pharynxes, or related otolaryngologic procedures; the code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being bought under its designation in state and local procurement systems.

The mismatch suggests that this Commodity code either is rarely used in state and local purchasing, carries inconsistent application across jurisdictions, or has been incorrectly tagged on opportunities addressing broader medical administration, staffing, and benefits services. State and local procurement professionals using UNSPSC 85581324 should verify whether the code is appropriate for their target markets, as recent activity does not support targeted business development in pharyngeal tissue replacement or related surgical device and service procurement.
