UNSPSC 85621354: Excision of glomus jugulare, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of glomus jugulare, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0GBC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85621354 Excision of glomus jugulare, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to the state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—endoscopic removal of a glomus jugulare tumor—yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve glomus jugulare procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the procurement notices or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and current state and local purchasing patterns under this code. The issuing bodies span multiple sectors—a state transportation agency, county human resources and health systems, a county juvenile probation department, and municipal pension boards—suggesting the code may have been applied as a catch-all for health services that do not fit established categories rather than for the surgical procedure it names.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities for actual glomus jugulare procedures or related surgical services. The opportunities present—Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—represent administrative health services and staffing procurement entirely distinct from surgical intervention for specific pathology. Until recent procurement activity shows actual demand for glomus jugulare procedures or related otologic surgery, this code signals limited pursuit opportunity for vendors in surgical oncology or otolaryngologic specialties.
