This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, 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 0KS40ZZ

UNSPSC 85652341 Reposition tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it reflect broader healthcare administration, medical surveillance, and occupational health services unrelated to otolaryngological or speech-language pathology interventions. State and local issuers—including counties, health systems, and municipal pension boards—are soliciting medical record review and summarization, occupational medical examinations, specialty pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services. These opportunities span clinical administration, benefits management, and occupational health rather than direct surgical or procedural delivery.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering four personnel categories across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits low recent activity with substantial mismatch between its surgical-procedure nomenclature and the administrative and occupational health services that jurisdictions are actually buying under it.
