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 0CBJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85583127 Excision of minor salivary gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the medical and occupational health services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy entry. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involves salivary gland excision. The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), indicating that the code may be a misfiled catch-all for health services procurement rather than a genuine marker for surgical procedure contracting.

Activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State, with no discernible pattern suggesting this code is reliably used for its nominal surgical scope. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this code has been repurposed to capture occupational and employee-health services broadly. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC family before pursuing opportunities in this code's recent activity pipeline.
