UNSPSC 85583052: Drainage of left parotid gland with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left parotid gland with drainage device, 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 0C9900Z

UNSPSC 85583052 Drainage of left parotid gland with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical structure, yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve parotid gland drainage or surgical procedures on that gland. This classification mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or an automated tagging error that has produced opportunities unrelated to the code's defined commodity.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code definition and the actual scope of these opportunities, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development purposes.
