UNSPSC 85582431: Extirpation of matter from uvula, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from uvula, external 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 0CCNXZZ

UNSPSC 85582431 Extirpation of matter from uvula, external approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not map to the work actually being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—represent comprehensive healthcare administration, clinical service delivery, and benefit management contracting rather than surgical or procedural removal of uvular tissue. The code classification appears to be a mismatch with the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying. Issuing bodies across the opportunities include county governments (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), spanning correctional health systems, county employee health plans, municipal emergency medical services, and behavioral health programs.

The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no indication of substantial activity in other states. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows limited relevance to state and local procurement under its nominal scope; businesses evaluating this code should verify whether their actual service lines—healthcare administration, clinical staffing, benefits management, or EMS medical direction—are better positioned under different UNSPSC classifications in the healthcare services families.
