UNSPSC 85582210: Release tongue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release tongue, 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 0CN70ZZ

UNSPSC 85582210 Release tongue, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical instrumentation or medical devices; instead, they span healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which correspond to the release tongue surgical device category. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these healthcare and human services contracts with this code in error or as a administrative classification mismatch. The code shows no documented solicitations for the surgical or medical device products the taxonomy intends to cover.

Activity across the recent postings reflects healthcare-adjacent work from county human resources departments, county health boards, county fire departments, and behavioral health agencies in Georgia, Florida, and California, but these opportunities do not represent legitimate demand for the commodity itself. The Muscogee County Prison medical services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County virtual care services RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025) are unrelated to surgical instrument procurement. Unless future opportunities posted under 85582210 align with the code's stated taxonomy — surgical release tongue instruments for open surgical approaches — this code does not represent actionable state and local procurement activity in its current posting pattern and should be deprioritized pending evidence of relevant solicitations.
