UNSPSC 85582666: Drainage of left parotid duct with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left parotid duct with drainage device, 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 0C9C30Z

UNSPSC 85582666 Drainage of left parotid duct with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations filed under this code reflect no work related to parotid duct drainage or any other surgical procedure within its nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated procedure.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), suggesting the code may have been applied as a catch-all miscategorization within broader health services procurement. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity when matched against its clinical definition, signaling either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or administrative tagging errors rather than active demand for parotid duct drainage services in government contracting.
