UNSPSC 85582006: Extirpation of matter from hard palate, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from hard palate, percutaneous 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 0CC23ZZ

UNSPSC 85582006 Extirpation of matter from hard palate, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal clinical scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve hard palate procedures or percutaneous surgical interventions; instead, they capture a broad range of occupational health, disability evaluation, pharmacy management, and temporary staffing services bearing no connection to the code's stated medical procedure. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied or is inactive for state and local procurement in its intended specialty.

The opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 span health system administration and occupational compliance rather than surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). A pharmacy benefit management RFP from Collier County and a surgical carve-out benefits proposal from the City of Long Beach rounded out the tagged opportunities. These solicitations reflect state departments, county health systems, and municipal offices seeking administrative health services rather than surgical procedures. No bids have been identified as awarded under this code. The absence of opportunities actually targeting hard palate extirpation or related otolaryngologic procedures suggests the code warrants close review before pursuing—verify tagging accuracy with procurement offices before committing resources.
