UNSPSC 85582617: Replacement of uvula with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of uvula with autologous 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 0CRN37Z

UNSPSC 85582617 Replacement of uvula with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of that service or related surgical interventions; instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which involve uvula replacement or autologous tissue substitution. The issuing bodies are diverse, spanning county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured under it.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-led examinations across 14 ferry-system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for record summarization and independent medical examinations supporting pension benefit determinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its purported scope.
