UNSPSC 85622351: Extirpation of matter from parathyroid gland, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0GCR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85622351 Extirpation of matter from parathyroid gland, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and health plan administration — none of which align with parathyroid surgery or surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this Commodity code as a catch-all for government-purchased medical and health services administration rather than for a specific surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city retirement boards, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and county health care consortiums — a broad cross-section of municipal and county health and human services departments.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability retirement determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division posted an RFQ (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence network management for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services reflects historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code's activity does not support a focused procurement strategy targeting surgical intervention — vendors pursuing state and local opportunities under this classification should expect health plan administration, occupational health services, medical staffing, and benefits management work rather than clinical surgical services.
