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 0CNC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582544 Release left parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — parotid duct release — yet the most recent opportunities posted under it reflect healthcare administration and management services entirely unrelated to that surgical scope. Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration; Monroe County posted a request for virtual primary and urgent care platform services; San Mateo County issued a proposal for mental health peer support programming; and Santa Monica Fire Department requested medical director services. None of these solicitations involve parotid duct surgery or operative procedures of any kind. The code appears to have been misapplied or tagged incorrectly across all recent postings, indicating either a data-entry error in the underlying procurement systems or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the work actually being bought.

The geographic distribution spans Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Columbus), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), and reflects activity from county health systems, county corrections departments, fire departments, and behavioral health agencies. The issuing bodies represent a mix of county government procurement offices, city departments, and county health administration units. Without representative opportunities that actually align with parotid duct release procedures, the code does not support pursuit recommendations based on surgical demand signals. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and flag the classification mismatch for clarification through procurement office contacts before investing effort in capability development.
