UNSPSC 85582311: Excision of tongue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0CB73ZZ

UNSPSC 85582311 Excision of tongue, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. Recent opportunities show no surgical procedures or clinical interventions matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the posted solicitations reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary clinical staffing placement, and pharmacy benefit management — none of which involve surgical excision or procedural medicine. The code appears misapplied to these opportunities, and state and local procurement activity under the code's actual clinical definition shows no recent postings in the source.

The mislabeled opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representatives include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, and WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for Washington State Ferries employees across 14 statewide locations. A procurement professional evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for the actual scope of work intended, as the current tagging does not reflect the health services administration and staffing categories actually being solicited.
