UNSPSC 85583632: Supplement epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0CUR7KZ

UNSPSC 85583632 Supplement epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve epiglottis supplementation or tissue substitute procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical specification and the actual work being solicited suggests either categorical miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this code does not reflect active state and local procurement in its intended clinical domain.

State and local healthcare purchasing under this code—when aligned with its stated scope—would typically support hospital systems, health departments, and integrated delivery networks procuring surgical implants, tissue substitutes, and related procedural services. The recent opportunities instead span pension administration (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits (City of Long Beach), transportation agency occupational health (Washington State Department of Transportation), juvenile detention healthcare (Harris County), county employee pharmacy services (Collier County), and health system staffing (County of Santa Clara). These issuing bodies and their scopes bear no relationship to epiglottis reconstruction. Without evidence of aligned procurement under this code, business development activity should focus elsewhere or await clarification of why these opportunities were tagged to a tissue substitute surgical procedure code.
