UNSPSC 85583057: Destruction of right submaxillary gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0C5G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583057 Destruction of right submaxillary gland, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not purchase that service. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve submaxillary gland destruction. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the source system or that the code is being misapplied to broader occupational health and medical administration categories that state and local bodies actually procure.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no particular concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, RFP RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work being solicited, pursuit decisions should rest on whether your firm operates in occupational health administration, disability medical management, or temporary clinical staffing — not on the code's stated procedural name.
