UNSPSC 85581518: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, open 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, 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 0CPY07Z

UNSPSC 85581518 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities reflect administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with a surgical procedure code naming tissue removal from the oral cavity.

The source records no relevant recent activity under this code. The Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) centers on disability benefits record review and examination coordination for public safety personnel, not surgical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) covers baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, administered by occupational medicine physicians. The City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs targets Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, and oncology care — again, management and steerage rather than direct surgical services. The County of Santa Clara's staffing pool and Harris County Juvenile Probation's RFI for emergency and inpatient services similarly do not map to a specific surgical procedure code. This code warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuit; the UNSPSC tagging appears erroneous, and the code does not support a meaningful procurement opportunity profile.
