UNSPSC 85582416 Replacement of soft palate with nonautologous tissue substitute, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical staffing pools, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code's title. State and local procurement databases appear to misclassify or overload this code across a broad range of healthcare contracting categories rather than use it to solicit the niche surgical service it describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and benefits offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal procurement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (covering baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 (covering disability medical record summary and physician scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications at $750,000 over five years), and the City of Long Beach surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026 (offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence). The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, suggesting that pursuit under this code would require confirmation of accurate code assignment before bid preparation.
