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

UNSPSC 85581338 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue removal, but the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source material or that the UNSPSC taxonomy is being applied to health-services procurement more broadly rather than to the specific surgical intervention the code names.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Ferries division of WSDOT, and the County of Santa Clara Health System appearing as distinct recent buyers. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with activity concentrated in the Pacific and Gulf Coast regions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows no material relevance to the work actually being solicited and merits exclusion from active pursuit targeting.
