UNSPSC 85582529: Replacement of right parotid duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right parotid duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0CRB0KZ

UNSPSC 85582529 Replacement of right parotid duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for parotid duct replacement; however, the six recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code — spanning Phoenix's disability medical evaluation services, Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program, Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance, Harris County's youth detention healthcare services, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative healthcare services, occupational health compliance, pharmacy benefit administration, and clinical staffing placement, not surgical procedures themselves. State and local governments do not typically procure specific surgical procedures as standalone line items; instead, they contract for medical benefit administration, healthcare network access, occupational health compliance services, or staff augmentation.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the administrative healthcare work actually being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that this code does not capture a meaningful procurement activity at the state and local level. Firms pursuing opportunities in healthcare benefit administration, occupational health services, or clinical staffing would benefit from monitoring UNSPSC codes in the medical services and healthcare administration families instead. This Commodity code should be deprioritized in favor of codes aligned with healthcare administration and staffing procurement.
