UNSPSC 85582615: Replacement of uvula with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of uvula with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0CRN3KZ

UNSPSC 85582615, Replacement of uvula with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit network management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with uvula replacement procedures or otolaryngological surgical services. The code appears to have been applied to health care administration and staffing solicitations unrelated to its nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual purchasing activity suggests either data-entry error in the underlying procurement system or misclassification by the issuing bodies. State and local governments do not routinely solicit uvula replacement procedures as standalone procurement lines; such services are typically embedded in broader medical network agreements, employee health plan carve-outs, or specialty provider contracts. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC coding in direct RFP review before pursing activity under this code, as the opportunities currently tagged to it do not support a meaningful market signal for the procedure itself.
