This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, 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 0KX40Z2

UNSPSC 85652302 Transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with skin and subcutaneous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not reflect the surgical procedure the code name describes. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with transfer grafting procedures. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that this code tier does not represent a meaningful buying pattern in the state and local market.

The most recent opportunities posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs for employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span county health systems, county retirement boards, state transportation departments, and municipal procurement offices across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Without verified alignment between this code and the actual work being solicited, pursuit decisions should rest on direct verification of the code assignment in source RFPs rather than this code categorization alone.
