UNSPSC 85581335: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening

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. 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 0CPY7KZ

UNSPSC 85581335 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's medical-procedure scope does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it, which instead focus on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from the mouth or throat. The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix including city retirement offices, transit authorities, counties, and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code appears to capture administrative health services and benefit-management contracting rather than the specific surgical or procedural services its name describes.

The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the procedural work the Commodity name suggests. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with cost-weighted evaluation and a two-year base term; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. No posted opportunities under this code involve oral or throat tissue removal, substitutes, or related surgical procedures. If your firm pursues work in occupational health services, pension disability evaluations, or health professional staffing, these issuing bodies and notice types are active; if your core capability is surgical-procedure management or tissue-substitute services, this code shows no relevant recent procurement activity and likely reflects a classification mismatch rather than genuine market demand.
