UNSPSC 85582821: Dilation of right parotid duct, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right parotid duct, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0C7B7ZZ

UNSPSC 85582821 Dilation of right parotid duct, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The UNSPSC code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the parotid duct; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local agencies span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities do not correspond to the discrete surgical procedure the code describes, signaling either a misclassification in the issuing agencies' procurement systems or a general absence of state and local buying activity aligned with the code's actual scope.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the misaligned opportunities. Given the disconnect between the code name and the work actually tagged to it in recent postings, prospective vendors should verify the correct commodity classification directly with individual issuing agencies before pursuing opportunities nominally listed under this code.
