UNSPSC 85343001: Diagnosis of paralysis of vocal cords and larynx

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Paralysis of vocal cords and larynx. Paralysis of vocal cords and larynx is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as a four digit category under code J38. 0

UNSPSC 85343001 Diagnosis of paralysis of vocal cords and larynx is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity has been applied to clinical diagnostic and therapeutic staffing services rather than the narrowly specified laryngeal pathology in its code name. The recent opportunities show state and local health systems and school districts procuring diagnostic imaging systems, special education evaluation services, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary health professional categories—work that falls outside the specific scope of the code's nominal title. The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system, a county health system, and a school district, reflecting a mix of healthcare and education procurement.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County). Representative opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system with proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration and support for 65,000 radiology studies annually; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Birdville ISD's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services covering 23 line items including speech language therapy, occupational therapy, and audiology services, with proposals due October 21, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity and the mismatch between its stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests tagging error rather than substantive procurement volume under this specific diagnostic classification.
