UNSPSC 85582501: Restriction of left parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left parotid duct, open 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 0CVC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582501 Restriction of left parotid duct, open approach (Commodity) is a surgical procedure code that bears no meaningful relationship to state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities block contains no contract solicitations for this procedure or related surgical services.

The five most-recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these solicitations involve parotid duct restriction or surgical intervention. The code appears to be a classification error or data-quality issue in the state and local procurement databases; the opportunities reflect broader healthcare services contracting (EMS medical direction, behavioral health support, managed care administration, and occupational health) rather than the narrow procedural definition the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not solicit surgical procedures under UNSPSC codes designed for product and service classification in this manner. Business development professionals evaluating this code should expect minimal or no relevant procurement activity and should flag the taxonomy mismatch to their procurement data provider.
