UNSPSC 85582213 Extirpation of matter from tongue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tongue surgery or oral tissue removal. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system; no single entity appears more than once in recent postings.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations statewide), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with $750,000 total maximum compensation over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, covering thirteen ancillary clinical categories). The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all medical services classification rather than for its specific procedural definition; there is no evidence of actual demand for tongue extirpation services in state and local procurement during this period.
