UNSPSC 85652323: Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with autologous 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 autologous 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 0KU407Z

UNSPSC 85652323 Supplement tongue, palate, pharynx muscle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code describe independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations concern oral and pharyngeal surgical reconstruction using autologous tissue grafts. The opportunities appear to be health-plan administration, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing services—administrative and preventive healthcare functions rather than surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope.

This code does not surface procurement activity aligned with its stated procedure. State and local governments do not typically solicit oral and maxillofacial surgical services through competitive procurement channels in the manner suggested by the UNSPSC taxonomy. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the nature of recent opportunities suggests either a cataloging error or extremely limited recent state and local demand for this particular surgical procedure under formal procurement processes. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the underlying issuing bodies' actual health-service needs involve reconstructive oral surgery or whether the code tag reflects administrative misclassification.
