UNSPSC 85582304 Replacement of tongue with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — are health services administration, insurance program management, and occupational health programs that bear no relation to the surgical replacement of tongue tissue with nonautologous substitutes. The code's specificity to a particular surgical procedure does not align with the scope of current state and local health procurement activity.

State and local purchasing under health-related codes at this tier typically targets surgical procedures, implants, or tissue substitutes when they are commodities being procured as standalone items or bulk inventory. The recent opportunities in this dataset reflect instead the management, staffing, and administration of health benefits and clinical services — categories that fall under different UNSPSC families. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify that opportunities tagged to it are genuinely buying the procedure or material specified in the code name, not health services administration work that has been incorrectly classified.
