UNSPSC 85581502: Revision of synthetic substitute in mouth and throat, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in mouth and throat, open 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 0CWY0JZ

UNSPSC 85581502 Revision of synthetic substitute in mouth and throat, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—oral and pharyngeal surgical revision procedures—does not match the medical services being solicited under this code designation in current opportunities. Recent postings tagged to this code include disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical center-of-excellence benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve synthetic substitute revision in the mouth or throat, and the mismatch suggests either consistent miscoding across multiple issuing bodies or a data quality issue in how opportunities are being classified to this commodity code.

The limited opportunities posting under this code across diverse issuing bodies—a city retirement office in Arizona, a municipal health plan in California, a state transportation department in Washington, a county juvenile probation department in Texas, a county health consortium in Florida, and a county health system in California—indicate no concentration of relevant procurement activity. The source contains no recent solicitations for the actual surgical or prosthetic services this commodity code nominally describes. Until opportunities more closely aligned with mouth and throat synthetic substitute revision appear in state and local notices, this code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit; the current activity level does not support a reliable market characterization.
