This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in salivary gland, open approach.

UNSPSC 85583002 Revision of drainage device in salivary gland, open approach (Commodity) is a surgical procedure code that shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The six most-recent opportunities tagged to this code are entirely unrelated to salivary gland procedures: they encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve revision of salivary gland drainage devices or otolaryngologic procedures. This code does not reflect genuine state and local purchasing activity in its stated domain.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the medical-administration and staffing services appearing in the recent opportunity list suggests either a data-tagging error or that this UNSPSC category is not meaningfully used by state and local procurement offices. Issuers include Arizona city pension boards, California cities, Washington state transportation and county health systems, and Florida county commissioners—a typical mix of state departments, county health systems, and municipal governments—but their posted work bears no relationship to the code's title. State and local buyers do not appear to solicit salivary gland drainage revision services through public procurement channels; if such services are needed, they are likely procured as part of bundled clinical service agreements or managed through direct contracts with health systems or surgical centers not individually bid as discrete procedure codes.
