This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, 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 0KX40ZZ

UNSPSC 85652301 Transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope of surgical procedures. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source material are for inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve surgical transfer of oropharyngeal muscle tissue or open surgical approaches to the tongue, palate, or pharynx. The code appears to have been applied by issuing procurement offices to healthcare and medical services contracts without regard to the specific surgical procedure the code describes, suggesting either a tagging error in the UNSPSC classification system or a fundamental mismatch between the code's intended scope and how state and local jurisdictions are actually using it.

No state and local procurement opportunities under UNSPSC 85652301 reflect the purchase or contracting for surgical transfer procedures of the type the code nominally describes.
