This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0KX44ZZ

UNSPSC 85652501 Transfer tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on soft-palate and pharyngeal structures; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not involve that procedure or related otolaryngologic services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public-safety disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out networks for municipal employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations align with the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source system or that this code tier is not actively used for state and local procurement of the specific procedure it names.

The opportunities that have been tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies — municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation) — spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without evidence that the code itself is being used as intended for actual procurement of tongue and pharynx muscle transfer procedures, the signal for business development is to verify coding alignment with the actual service line before committing pursuit resources to opportunities labeled under this Commodity code.
