UNSPSC 85582676: Destruction of tonsils, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of tonsils, 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 0C5P3ZZ

UNSPSC 85582676 Destruction of tonsils, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical removal of tonsils via minimally invasive technique—diverges sharply from the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities on file show no tonsillectomy procedures or related surgical services. Instead, the code is being applied to requests for comprehensive health services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which align with the code's stated clinical meaning. This mismatch signals either data-entry error in the sourcing system or systematic miscoding of health services solicitations at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, RFP due April 16, 2026), California (San Mateo County peer support pilot, RFP 2025-007), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director, RFP 455). The issuing bodies are county governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. Given the absence of actual tonsillectomy solicitations and the presence of unrelated health-services procurement, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing destruction-of-tonsils contracting under state and local codes.
