UNSPSC 85581868: Extirpation of matter from hard palate, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from hard palate, external 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 0CC2XZZ

UNSPSC 85581868, Extirpation of matter from hard palate, external approach (Commodity), does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the hard palate, yet the five recent solicitations spanning July through October 2026 seek occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve hard palate procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source database or that this code tier does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the public record.

The issuing bodies across the opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 Washington ferry locations due October 9, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026. The code shows no substantive procurement activity aligned to its stated commodity scope and should be treated as inactive for hard palate procedures.
