UNSPSC 85582506: Restriction of right parotid duct with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right parotid duct with extraluminal device, 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 0CVB0CZ

UNSPSC 85582506 Restriction of right parotid duct with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. The code appears to be misapplied across the recent solicitations, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing coordination, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and employee health plan administration. None of these activities involve parotid duct restriction or extraluminal device placement. The opportunities span issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), suggesting the code has been broadly misused or the taxonomy does not reflect how state and local procurement offices actually tag health services contracting.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). The taxonomy mismatch suggests this code warrants careful verification before pursuit—the actual procurement activity does not substantively reflect the code's nominal clinical content.
