UNSPSC 85622516: Reposition left superior parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left superior parathyroid gland, 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 0GSM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85622516 Reposition left superior parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve parathyroid intervention or surgical services. Instead, the four most recent state and local postings solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, and mental health peer support — none of which align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code has been repurposed in practice by certain issuing bodies to describe broader health service procurement, a pattern not typical of surgical procedure codes in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies include a county corrections authority (Muscogee County, Georgia), county health benefits administrators (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida, and San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). These opportunities span multiple states with no dominant geographic cluster. When state and local procurement bodies do tag opportunities under this code, they are managing managed-care contracts, health plan administration, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures. Absent clarification that the code's definition has shifted in practice, this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity for vendors focused on parathyroid or general surgical services.
