UNSPSC 85582432: Extirpation of matter from soft palate, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from soft 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 0CC3XZZ

UNSPSC 85582432 Extirpation of matter from soft palate, external approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, specialty surgical benefit administration for municipal health plans, temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and pharmacy benefit management — none of which involve soft palate surgery or the procedural extraction work the code's name describes. The mismatch suggests either data-entry error in the source system or a tagging anomaly; the code appears to reflect clinical procedure terminology misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing work.

Issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and county benefits administration offices (Collier County). Geographic activity includes California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration pattern evident. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP (25-8414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members on a three-year initial term. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.
