UNSPSC 85621923: Destruction of pituitary gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of pituitary gland, open 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 0G500ZZ

UNSPSC 85621923, Destruction of pituitary gland, open approach, is a Commodity code for which state and local governments show no relevant recent procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code between July and September 2026 involve independent medical evaluations for pension-disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations concern surgical destruction of the pituitary gland or any pituitary-specific procedure. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the procurement database; state and local agencies do not typically solicit for surgical pathology procedures as standalone commodities through competitive procurement.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests this code is not a productive focus for business development activity in state and local markets. Procurement offices that tag opportunities under this code are using it as a catch-all for medical services more broadly, rather than as a precise descriptor of surgical capability. If your firm pursues pituitary or neurosurgical services at the state and local level, monitor the broader medical-services codes and watch for individual RFPs from health systems, counties, and state university hospitals rather than relying on this Commodity classification.
