UNSPSC 85583055: Destruction of minor salivary gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0C5J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583055 Destruction of minor salivary gland, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which concern minor salivary gland procedures or surgical destruction. The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is either being applied inconsistently by state and local procurement offices or is not the appropriate classifier for the health services and medical administration opportunities currently posted under it.

Activity appears concentrated among county-level human resources and health system departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), the City of Long Beach (California), the County of Santa Clara Health System (California), and the Washington State Department of Transportation have all posted opportunities tagged to this code in the past two months. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026). Vendors should treat activity under this code as a signal of misclassification rather than a reliable procurement pathway for minor salivary gland surgical services.
