This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0KQ40ZZ

UNSPSC 85652346 Repair tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, pediatric detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve repair of tongue, palate, or pharynx muscle via open surgical approach. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader healthcare contracting activity outside its anatomical procedure definition.

The solicitations do reveal activity across diverse state and local jurisdictions—two California municipalities (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State Department of Transportation, Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County)—with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, city health plans, state transportation departments, county health systems, county procurement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies. Without opportunities that genuinely match the code's surgical scope, no meaningful recommendation on pursuit can be grounded in actual procurement signals. Vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the current tagging pattern does not reflect the code's anatomical and procedural definition.
