UNSPSC 85582560: Extirpation of matter from left parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left parotid duct, 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 0CCC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582560 Extirpation of matter from left parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code with a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify general health services and benefit administration work that falls well outside the parotid duct surgical intervention scope.

Activity under this code is distributed across state departments, county health systems and boards, and municipal government. The Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Collier County Commissioners have all posted solicitations tagged to this code in recent months. Washington and California show recent activity; Arizona and Florida have posted opportunities as well. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, $750,000 over five years (RFP RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code appears to function as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than a descriptor of specific surgical procedures, suggesting either persistent misclassification by issuing bodies or a significant drift between the code's definition and current procurement practice.
