UNSPSC 85652551 Release tongue, palate, pharynx muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluations for public safety disability retirements, surgical center-of-excellence networks, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not match the narrow scope of a procedure-specific surgical code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the code's intended use and how state and local procurement offices are applying it.

No state or local purchasing activity targeting percutaneous endoscopic procedures on the tongue, palate, or pharynx muscles is evident in the recent opportunities block. This code appears inactive or misapplied in the state and local market as of October 2026.
