UNSPSC 85582558: Extirpation of matter from tonsils, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from tonsils, 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 0CCP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582558 Extirpation of matter from tonsils, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare procurement across multiple service lines — including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which directly address surgical extirpation. This mismatch suggests either classification drift in the state and local databases or that the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare service categories that do not fit cleanly into the UNSPSC hierarchy.

The issuing bodies span county-level health and corrections administration (Muscogee County Prison through Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County Board of Commissioners, Monroe County Board of Commissioners), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Health), and municipal fire services (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic distribution includes Georgia, Florida (two counties), and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, covering medical intake, chronic care management, emergency services, dental care, and pharmacy services for approximately 576 inmates; Collier County Board of Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an estimated annual spend of $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County Board of Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (active employees, retirees, and dependents), due April 16, 2026. The code sees no concentrated activity and does not serve as a reliable signal for tactical procurement planning in surgical services or hospital-based specialty care.
