UNSPSC 85582008: Drainage of hard palate, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0C923ZZ

UNSPSC 85582008 Drainage of hard palate, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal medical-procedure scope. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hard palate drainage or percutaneous drainage procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to broader healthcare administrative and staffing solicitations rather than the discrete surgical or drainage intervention the code name specifies.

The issuing bodies are geographically and structurally diverse, spanning state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities with posted dates from August through September 2026 include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the code-scope mismatch, this category shows little relevant activity for vendors positioned in hard palate drainage or related otolaryngologic procedures.
