UNSPSC 85582500: Oropharyngeal soft tissue lymphatic structures, open approach

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the oropharyngeal soft tissue and lymphatic structures with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0C.

UNSPSC 85582500 Oropharyngeal soft tissue lymphatic structures, open approach is a Class code with minimal recent activity aligned to its anatomical-procedure scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not match the medical-device or surgical-service nature of the code itself; instead, they reflect solicitations for healthcare administration, pharmacy management, and medical staffing services that are categorized elsewhere in UNSPSC. This mismatch suggests the code sees little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level, or that issuing bodies are misclassifying their healthcare-service solicitations.

The visible opportunities in the posted record span county governments and special-purpose districts across Florida, Georgia, and California issuing RFPs for inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica, California). These are administratively classified under the code but represent operational healthcare contracting rather than the oropharyngeal surgical intervention the code nominally describes. No recent state or local opportunities explicitly solicit devices, surgical supplies, or procedural services matching the code's anatomical scope. Bidders pursuing state and local work should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before proposing; the classification signal here is unreliable.
