UNSPSC 85582217 Destruction of tongue, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities flagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures or otolaryngologic services. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries baseline and periodic examinations), disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix pension board medical record review and independent medical examinations), surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach Centers of Excellence network for orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve surgical destruction of lingual tissue or tongue pathology treatment.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. This code appears to be misclassified or incorrectly tagged in the state and local procurement notices reviewed; state and local buyers show no identifiable demand for the specific service this Commodity code describes.
