UNSPSC 85622510: Resection of right thyroid gland lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right thyroid gland lobe, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0GTH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85622510 (Resection of right thyroid gland lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six most-recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code across the period captured do not include any solicitations for thyroid surgery, thyroid procedures, or related surgical services. The opportunities instead span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these align with the procedural scope of the code itself.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure performed by a licensed physician—and the actual services being solicited under it suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying this Commodity code as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder for broader medical services categories, or the tagging reflects administrative error rather than intentional classification. No state or local government purchasing office is currently buying thyroid resection procedures as a line-item service under this code, and no pattern of activity emerges to indicate a buying cycle or market opportunity. The code should be deprioritized unless procurement notices explicitly request surgical procedure services or indicate a correction in tagging practice.
