UNSPSC 85582527 Replacement of left parotid duct with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on an individual's salivary gland; the recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve parotid duct replacement or surgical implants. The code appears to have been applied to health services and benefits contracting where it does not fit the actual scope of work being purchased.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code in recent months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the Santa Clara County Health System RFP due October 7, 2026 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal content and the work state and local governments are actually buying — pursue only if your firm has specific expertise in the health services or benefits categories the recent opportunities describe, and verify the applicable code with the issuing body before bidding.
