UNSPSC 85582903: Inspection of salivary gland, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of salivary gland, external 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 0CJAXZZ

UNSPSC 85582903 Inspection of salivary gland, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The solicitations do not involve salivary gland inspection or external approach procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance (baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers), disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluation (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards), surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (Long Beach city employees), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara Health System). The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across recent postings from July through September 2026.

The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated scope of salivary gland inspection procedures. The mismatch between the UNSPSC category name and the work actually being solicited under it suggests either a data-classification error or that this code has been repurposed for broader occupational and employee health services in state and local procurement systems. The representative opportunities—including Phoenix's $750,000 disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026)—reflect administrative and support health services rather than the diagnostic or procedural scope the code's name implies. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their intended service lines before bidding or pursuing related opportunities.
