UNSPSC 85582309: Insertion of radioactive element into tongue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into tongue, percutaneous 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 0CH731Z

UNSPSC 85582309 Insertion of radioactive element into tongue, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific radiological medical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which involve radioactive element insertion or tongue-based radiological intervention. This represents a categorical mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the work actually being procured under it in state and local markets.

The issuing bodies placing these opportunities include city retirement offices, municipal human resources divisions, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The lack of relevant recent activity under this code suggests either systematic miscoding of medical service solicitations or minimal actual procurement volume for the specific procedure the code describes. State and local buyers pursuing independent medical evaluation, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing services should verify their coding assignments with procurement offices rather than rely on this code as written.
