UNSPSC 85764216: Insertion of other device into oral cavity and throat, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of other device into oral cavity and throat, 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 0WH30YZ

UNSPSC 85764216 Insertion of other device into oral cavity and throat, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC designation. The opportunities retrieved include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out program management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve the insertion of oral cavity or throat devices; rather, they represent administrative healthcare services, clinical staffing, and benefits management—categories that fall outside the code's intended scope.

The mismatch suggests either a data-classification issue or that the code is not a primary vehicle for state and local procurement in this medical specialty. State and local buyers appear to source oral and throat device procedures, if at all, through alternative procurement channels or integrated healthcare delivery contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of this code's assignment before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged with UNSPSC 85764216.
