UNSPSC 85581413: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, external 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 0CPYX7Z

UNSPSC 85581413 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on oral tissues, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out programs through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and specialty and emergency medical services — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes from the mouth and throat. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy entry that does not map cleanly to current procurement practice in state and local government. State and local buyers appear to be tagging broader healthcare administration, occupational health programs, and staffing services under this code rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing pool RFP due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the West and Southwest, with secondary presence in Texas and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual solicitation content, this code warrants close attention during pre-bid and Q&A cycles to clarify whether issuing bodies intend the surgical-procedure description or are using the code as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement.
