UNSPSC 85652336 Resection of tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with surgical resection procedures. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and current procurement practice, suggesting either miscoding at the point of posting or that this Commodity code is not actively used in state and local contracting for its stated service line.

State and local issuers posting opportunities under this code include county and city benefits and retirement offices (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation and health system departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Santa Clara Health System), and public safety detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (75 annual disability benefit applications, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, two-year term with up to five one-year extension options), and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume).
