UNSPSC 85582516: Resection of left parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection 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 0CTC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582516 Resection of left parotid duct, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and workforce placement. None involve parotid duct resection or any surgical procedure matching the code's scope. The mismatch suggests either consistent miscoding of healthcare administration and staffing work under this commodity code, or a data artifact in the underlying procurement system.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span large municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), major city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code does not present a clear commercial opportunity in state and local healthcare procurement.
