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 0CN83ZZ

UNSPSC 85583118 Release right parotid gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities posted under it are unrelated to surgical services — they encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve parotid gland procedures or any surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code is either misapplied by the issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all category for health services procurement that lacks a more precise code alignment.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County Prison through Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County Health and Santa Monica Fire Department). Given the profound disconnect between the code's title and the substance of posted opportunities, firms evaluating this code should verify code assignment with individual issuing bodies before investing in proposal development. The code does not currently function as a reliable signal of parotid surgery procurement or related surgical services at the state and local level.
