UNSPSC 85652321: Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0KU40KZ

UNSPSC 85652321 Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue substitution in the mouth and throat, yet the recent opportunities posted under it cover occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence carve-outs for public employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's surgical-procedure scope. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent tagging in state and local procurement systems or that this code is not the appropriate classifier for the work actually being solicited.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states without clustering around a single code application: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical examinations for public safety pension boards), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Long Beach (surgery benefit carve-out for employee health plans), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). No two opportunities address the same service line, and geographic spread reaches Arizona, Washington, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), and Texas (Harris County). Given the evident mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being tagged to it, this code shows no actionable recent activity for providers in surgical tissue supplementation or related reconstructive procedures.
