UNSPSC 85582561: Extirpation of matter from right parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 0CCB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582561 Extirpation of matter from right parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the parotid duct—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve parotid duct surgery or relate to the procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for general medical services procurement rather than for the specific surgical intervention its UNSPSC definition implies.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities under this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation authorities. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat the recent activity as largely misclassified and focus instead on the underlying scope of work actually being purchased—medical staffing, benefit program management, and occupational health services—rather than pursuing opportunities on the strength of the UNSPSC code itself.
