UNSPSC 85582588: Destruction of left parotid duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0C5C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85582588 Destruction of left parotid duct, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations, disability benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with parotid duct destruction or any single surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for medical and health service administration rather than for the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (responses due October 9, 2026), and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an estimated historical annual spend of $8.7 million (responses due April 9, 2026). Geographic diversity and issuing-body type (state, county, and municipal) suggest the code receives activity across multiple jurisdictions and levels of government, though the diversity of work types indicates the code itself is not a reliable predictor of procurement intent.
