UNSPSC 85581329: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0CPY8KZ

UNSPSC 85581329 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procedure removal services; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code's narrow clinical scope—endoscopic tissue removal—does not correspond to the administrative and benefit-management services that dominate recent state and local solicitations under this tag.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with scattered regional opportunities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting public-safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026 for a five-year, $750,000 total contract; the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County (Florida) issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services reflecting approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests this code is misapplied to benefit-administration and occupational-health categories, warranting clarification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
