This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of minor salivary gland, open 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 0CBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583034 Excision of minor salivary gland, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—the excision of a minor salivary gland using an open surgical approach—yet recent solicitations tagged under this code involve medical evaluation administration, health plan benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these activities constitute surgical procedures or involve salivary gland excision. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' systems or a broad misinterpretation of the code's scope by posting staff.

The most recent opportunities appear to reflect mis-tagging of administrative and staffing services under a procedural-surgery code rather than genuine procurement demand for salivary gland surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (California) requested surgical benefit carve-out program administration for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County (Florida) requested pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, closed April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring salivary gland surgery under this code; the code should be monitored for tagging corrections before allocating pursue resources.
