UNSPSC 85622433: Extirpation of matter from right thyroid gland lobe, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right thyroid gland lobe, 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 0GCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85622433 Extirpation of matter from right thyroid gland lobe, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The opportunities tagged to this code are actually buying occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve thyroid procedures or match the code's stated clinical descriptor. The issuing bodies include county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or region.

The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement offices or a UNSPSC taxonomy error. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for ferry worker medical examinations across 14 locations; the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026 at approximately $8.7 million annually). This code does not currently reflect meaningful activity in its stated clinical domain and should be monitored for recoding or clarification by procurement offices before committing resources to pursuit.
