UNSPSC 85583153: Destruction of left parotid gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0C593ZZ

UNSPSC 85583153 Destruction of left parotid gland, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local procurement activity currently being tagged under it. Recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve destruction of a parotid gland or other specific surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The code appears to be either misapplied by procurement offices tagging these opportunities or used as a catch-all for broader medical services contracting where more granular procedure or service codes may not exist in their systems.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southwest and West: Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State (WSDOT). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires board-certified occupational medicine physicians and covers baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry locations. The City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks medical record summarization and disability exam coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) targets Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual procurement activity, this code offers limited decision relevance for firms focused on specific surgical procedure markets; the tagged opportunities reflect general health benefit administration and occupational health services rather than parotid gland procedures or related ENT interventions.
