UNSPSC 85582665: Drainage of left parotid duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left parotid duct, percutaneous 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 0C9C3ZZ

UNSPSC 85582665 Drainage of left parotid duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve parotid duct drainage or otologic procedures. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no single jurisdiction accounting for multiple recent opportunities.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations, with examinations performed by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine and all results delivered within 60 days. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of comprehensive medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years commencing February 3, 2027. The code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal otologic procedure scope; vendors evaluating this code should confirm whether the mislabeling represents data quality issues upstream or whether their service offerings fit the broader occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing work actually being procured.
