UNSPSC 85583043: Drainage of left submaxillary gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left submaxillary 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 0C9H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583043 Drainage of left submaxillary gland, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical drainage work. Instead, the solicitations capture occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which align with the code's stated surgical procedure name. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurements that fall outside its primary scope.

The issuing bodies include county and state health agencies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability claims in Phoenix (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for Collier County covering approximately 7,200 enrolled members and employees (RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026), and a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing through Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the health services administration and staffing work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for the procedure it nominally describes.
