UNSPSC 85582523 Replacement of uvula with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The solicitations tagged to this code are medical services—occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—but none involve uvula replacement surgery or tissue substitutes. State and local issuers post opportunities under this code across a range of health-related commodities and services that bear no operational connection to the code's nominal scope.

Recent activity includes the Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach seeking surgical carve-out benefit management for a Centers of Excellence network (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County Commissioners procuring pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 active employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spend near $8.7 million (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). Geographic coverage spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated clinical procedure scope and should not guide pursuit decisions for uvula replacement or tissue-substitute business lines.
