UNSPSC 85622308: Resection of right superior parathyroid gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right superior parathyroid 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 0GTL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85622308 Resection of right superior parathyroid gland, open approach is a Commodity code assigned to a medical service — yet the recent state and local procurement activity associated with this code does not align with surgical parathyroid procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedure bundling, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve parathyroid surgery or related endocrine procedures. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county boards and human resources divisions, city retirement and procurement offices, health systems, and juvenile justice authorities — a broad cross-section of public sector healthcare purchasing. This code shows a systematic mismatch between its stated scope and the work actually being bought, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or a code that state and local procurement offices are using for medical services far outside its nominal taxonomy definition.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting nationwide activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability determination support with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the persistent disconnect between the code's surgical specificity and the breadth of medical-administrative and occupational health services being procured, pursuit decisions should prioritize direct RFP and RFQ review rather than relying on this code for market segmentation.
