UNSPSC 85622021: Destruction of pituitary gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of pituitary 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 0G503ZZ

UNSPSC 85622021 Destruction of pituitary gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity recorded under it. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet the most recent solicitations posted against this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve pituitary gland destruction or procedural intervention at the clinical level. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to capture a range of public-sector health services and benefits administration rather than the specific procedure its name denotes.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 maximum over five years); Washington State Ferries requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach procuring surgical procedure Centers of Excellence management for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural definition and the administrative, occupational, and staffing services actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local opportunities in surgical intervention or endocrine procedures.
