This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from adenoids, 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 0CCQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582557 Extirpation of matter from adenoids, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code in 2026 reflect no surgical adenoidectomies or related otolaryngologic services. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These represent healthcare administration, occupational health programs, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied as a catch-all health services designation by issuing bodies rather than reflecting the code's intended scope.

The issuing bodies are county and state agencies managing employee benefits and public safety retirement systems, plus a county health system. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026) represent the current activity. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual surgical services; procurement opportunities under this code warrant close review for alignment with operational scope before pursuit.
