UNSPSC 85582600: Oropharyngeal soft tissue lymphatic structures, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the oropharyngeal soft tissue and lymphatic structures with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0C.

UNSPSC 85582600 Oropharyngeal soft tissue lymphatic structures, percutaneous approach is a Class code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity in the available record. The code nominally describes a narrow medical procedure classification, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span jail healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve oropharyngeal or lymphatic tissue procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a breakdown in how this procurement taxonomy applies to the service categories state and local buyers are soliciting.

The four identified recent opportunities involve Georgia (Muscogee County Prison, Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), and California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica Fire Department). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, a city fire department, and a county health and behavioral services agency. None of the opportunities—ranging from inmate medical services ($95,537.71 monthly cost, annual contract with renewals through September 2029) to pharmacy benefit management (approximately $8.7 million annually), virtual urgent care (twenty-four-month initial term starting October 2026), peer support services ($580,000 total funding), and medical director services—correspond to the oropharyngeal lymphatic procedure described in the code name. Absent alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual services being procured, this code shows no decision-relevant activity for firms providing or supporting the medical procedure it nominally describes.
