UNSPSC 85622560: Excision of parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0GBR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85622560 Excision of parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve parathyroid surgery or the specific endoscopic procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests the code is being misapplied in procurement systems or that state and local agencies are using it as a placeholder for broader healthcare contracting rather than for the discrete procedure it denotes.

Recent solicitations show activity across multiple state and local health and human services jurisdictions including Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most directly health-focused opportunities, though neither involves surgical procedures. The code shows no coherent procurement signal for parathyroid or endoscopic surgical work; vendors pursuing contracts under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each notice rather than relying on the code designation.
