UNSPSC 85622564: Excision of left superior parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0GBM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85622564 Excision of left superior parathyroid gland, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal focus on a specific surgical procedure bears no relation to the independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs that state and local buyers are currently procuring under this code designation. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in how opportunities have been tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement practice in this space. Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—reflecting a mix of state departments, counties, cities, and specialized public agencies. The scope of work is predominantly administrative and network-based medical services rather than surgical procedures: medical record review and disability benefit evaluation coordination, occupational health examinations aligned with regulatory compliance, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and specialty surgical networks delivered through Centers of Excellence.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with representation from Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. A pre-bid conference for the Washington State Ferries opportunity is scheduled for August 31, 2026. The code shows recurring activity in occupational and disability-related medical evaluation administration, but the disconnect between the nominal code definition and actual procurement scope warrants clarification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
