UNSPSC 85582581: Dilation of left parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 0C7C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582581 Dilation of left parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to actual government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the specific procedural classification. The disconnect suggests the code was applied as a catch-all medical services classifier rather than as an accurate procedure-level taxonomy marker in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities reflect fragmented issuing bodies across multiple states and service types with no clear concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP due October 7, 2026 for surgical Center of Excellence carve-out benefits; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI due September 25, 2026 seeking emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code. The code's misapplication to general health services procurement suggests limited utility for vendors targeting this specific taxonomy entry.
