UNSPSC 85582106: Replacement of tongue with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of tongue with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0CR7XKZ

UNSPSC 85582106 Replacement of tongue with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The code's abstract taxonomy description—surgical replacement of the tongue using nonautologous tissue—does not match the actual work state and local governments are currently buying under this code assignment.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to tongue replacement procedures. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). These are administrative and staffing services, not the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch—issuers have applied it to opportunities that do not involve tongue replacement with tissue substitutes. No state or local procurement entity has solicited the procedure the code name describes within the recent-opportunities window provided.
