UNSPSC 85582211 Reattachment of tongue, open approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local contract activity shows minimal relevance to its nominal scope. The code's name suggests surgical procedure reattachment work, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code concern occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for insurance plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve tongue reattachment or related surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department all issued recent opportunities tagged to this code, but the work being procured falls under general medical, administrative health services, and staffing categories rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The most active recent solicitations are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to be a data classification error rather than a meaningful indicator of procurement activity in this commodity category. Vendors should verify actual scope alignment with individual jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
