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 0CBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582566 Excision of left parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity bearing this code tag. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the five most recent opportunities posted under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. These solicitations span healthcare administration, employee benefits management, telemedicine platforms, mental health support, and medical oversight — none of which aligns with the discrete surgical intervention the code purports to name. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or the use of a surgical code as a placeholder for broader healthcare service categories.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia counties, with additional municipal and regional health authority buyers in California. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services on April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division (Georgia) issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71. Monroe County, Florida Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for Virtual Primary Care and 24/7 Urgent Care Services on March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026, serving approximately 2,300 county members.

The Santa Monica Fire Department (California) posted an RFP for a Medical Director through a competitive process. The code shows no meaningful activity aligned to its stated scope, and business developers should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
