This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0K540ZZ

UNSPSC 85652386 Destruction of tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the most-recent block — independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing services with no connection to surgical destruction of oral and pharyngeal tissue. State and local purchasing offices have tagged these opportunities with this code, but the mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement signals either systematic misclassification in the source data or a labeling error upstream.

The code does not reflect meaningful state and local buying activity in its intended domain as of October 2026. Business development professionals should verify the UNSPSC code assignment through the issuing procurement office before investing BD resources under this classification.
