UNSPSC 85582525: Replacement of uvula with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of uvula with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0CRN07Z

UNSPSC 85582525 Replacement of uvula with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical technique, yet recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks—none of which involve uvula replacement or autologous tissue work. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify medical administration, occupational health services, and benefits management rather than the specific surgical procedure the code name describes.

Recent activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, and Florida, with issuing bodies including the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent medical examinations for public safety pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical Centers of Excellence networks), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees), and Santa Clara County Health System in California (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories). The code shows no coherent recent procurement pattern around the procedure it nominally names. Bidders pursuing opportunities tagged under this code should verify with the issuing body that the code assignment matches the actual scope of work; the mismatch here suggests either data-entry error or an overly broad application of the code to unrelated medical administration and staffing services.
