UNSPSC 85582624: Replacement of soft palate with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of soft palate 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 0CR33KZ

UNSPSC 85582624 (Replacement of soft palate with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve soft palate procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding rather than genuine procurement of the procedure itself. What the source reveals is that state and local issuers are instead buying broad medical and health service administration: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations; the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence; and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple specialties.

Activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington, with scattered requests from Harris County (Texas) and Collier County (Florida). The City of Phoenix issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years and October 16, 2026 response deadline. WSDOT issued RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across Washington ferry operations with an October 9, 2026 deadline and October 20, 2026 apparent successful bidder announcement. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-outs with a October 7, 2026 proposal due date and anticipated contract execution and April 1, 2027 go-live. Because this code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the opportunities the source reports, business development professionals should not rely on this code classification for procurement signals; the underlying opportunities are legitimate state and local medical and health service buys, but they are misclassified and do not reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
