UNSPSC 85582104: Resection of tongue, 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 0CT7XZZ

UNSPSC 85582104 Resection of tongue, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not actively procure under. The recent contract opportunities posted to state and local procurement channels show no solicitations for tongue resection or any surgical procedures matching this code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code reflect healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. These are operational healthcare services and staffing functions, not surgical procedures or medical devices.

The geographic spread of identifiable recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus/Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), though the mismatch between the code's surgical focus and the actual work being procured suggests either misclassification within the state and local procurement systems or the code's disuse in this market. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, a county health department, and municipal fire services. The representative recent opportunities—Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management (RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP, due April 16, 2026)—reveal healthcare contracting activity at the operational and administrative level, not surgical intervention. Vendors pursuing work in this code should verify the actual commodity or service classification required by issuing jurisdictions, as the current code assignment appears to reflect data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than procurement reality.
