UNSPSC 85583138: Drainage of right submaxillary gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right submaxillary gland, percutaneous 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 0C9G3ZZ

UNSPSC 85583138 Drainage of right submaxillary gland, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with the specific otolaryngological procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual procurement activity being conducted.

The recent opportunities do show a pattern of state and local health benefit administration, workforce occupational health, and clinical services contracting across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services related to public safety pension disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories. Code 85583138 shows little relevant recent activity for the specific drainage procedure it nominally describes.
