UNSPSC 85582904 Change other device in salivary gland, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—surgical modification of salivary gland devices—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local issuers. Those opportunities instead reflect a mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (a health plan benefit administration service); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital-based and specialty emergency services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, imaging, respiratory care, surgical/operating room support, and therapy services among others). None of these solicitations involve implantable or removable devices for salivary glands.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida; however, given the code mismatch, these jurisdictions are not representative of actual market demand for salivary gland device work. The lack of aligned opportunities suggests that state and local procurement bodies either do not use this code for surgical device procurement, or such procurement activity is not present in the recent record. Business development professionals should verify the correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85582904.
