UNSPSC 85582550: Occlusion of left parotid duct with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left parotid duct with intraluminal 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 0CLC0DZ

UNSPSC 85582550 Occlusion of left parotid duct with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity shown in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specific surgical procedure on the parotid gland; the posted solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve parotid duct occlusion or intraluminal device placement. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this Commodity code inconsistently or incorrectly across medical and health services contracts that bear no clinical relationship to the code's stated procedure.

The mismatch suggests either a data entry error in the coding or a fundamental classification problem at the source. The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — and span multiple states with no common procurement signal. Because the recent solicitations do not address parotid duct procedures or related surgical device procurement, this code shows no actionable market signal for firms in medical device, surgical supply, or procedure-specific contracting. Vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC code through the issuing body before pursuing any of these opportunities.
