UNSPSC 85652322: Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with synthetic 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 0KU40JZ

UNSPSC 85652322 Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical procedures to supplement muscles of the tongue, palate, or pharynx with synthetic material. The tagging of these opportunities to this Commodity code appears to be a classification error in the source data, as the work being bought reflects general health-service procurement rather than surgical implant or tissue-supplement procedures.

The mismatch between code and opportunity scope makes this code unsuitable for business development targeting in state and local procurement at present. No bidders pursuing state or local contracts under this code should expect opportunities related to its nominal surgical scope. A vendor reviewing this code as part of portfolio evaluation should flag it as inactive or misclassified and seek clarification from procurement data stewards before committing resources to opportunity monitoring or capability development.
