UNSPSC 85583146: Drainage of right parotid gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right parotid 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 0C983ZZ

UNSPSC 85583146 Drainage of right parotid gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical drainage procedure on a salivary gland; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code encompasses occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve parotid gland drainage or percutaneous surgical approaches. The mismatch suggests either a data error in the code assignment or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how the issuing bodies have tagged these opportunities.

The recent opportunities reflect procurement by state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County, Phoenix), and municipalities (City of Long Beach), across diverse healthcare administration and staffing functions with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Given the absence of any recent opportunities that actually relate to parotid gland surgery or the procedural scope the code nominally describes, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical procedure contracts.
