UNSPSC 85582208 Replacement of tongue with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the nominal scope — the opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit administration and Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations represent general medical and health benefit administration services rather than the specific surgical procedure the code name indicates, suggesting a systematic mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement activity under this classification.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county boards of commissioners across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries seeking occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting a surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing services (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no clear or concentrated activity pattern aligned with its nominal description.
