UNSPSC 85581612: Removal of synthetic substitute from mouth and throat, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from mouth and throat, percutaneous 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 0CPY3JZ

UNSPSC 85581612 Removal of synthetic substitute from mouth and throat, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow clinical scope—describing a specific surgical procedure for oral and throat prosthetic removal—does not match the healthcare services actually being solicited under this code designation in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve the specific procedural intervention the code nominates. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional diversity rather than concentration in a particular government sector.

No recent state and local solicitations appear to procure the specific service described by this code. The six opportunities in the recent activity block represent health system administration, staffing supply, occupational health compliance, pharmacy program management, and emergency/specialty care access—procurement categories that diverge substantially from surgical or percutaneous oral and throat prosthetic removal. The code's tagging appears to reflect a data classification error or upstream miscoding rather than a functional category under which state and local governments are actively sourcing. Vendors monitoring this code for procurement signals should verify the actual scope of work required before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
