UNSPSC 85652304: Transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with skin, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with skin, 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 0KX40Z0

UNSPSC 85652304 Transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with skin, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it reflect diverse health-system contracting: independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. These solicitations do not align with the code's nominal scope of a particular reconstructive surgical procedure. State and local health systems, pension boards, transportation departments, and county human services agencies are the issuing bodies, but the actual work being solicited spans medical administration, clinical staffing, and health plan management rather than the surgical intervention the code describes.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating scattered national activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit medical record review and examination scheduling, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). The code appears to have been assigned inconsistently or as a catch-all for medical and health-related services rather than reflecting the specific surgical procedure its name indicates; prospective vendors should verify code alignment with actual solicitation scope before pursuing opportunities flagged under this classification.
