UNSPSC 85581359: Destruction of pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0C5M8ZZ

UNSPSC 85581359 Destruction of pharynx via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent relevance. The six posted opportunities associated with this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with endoscopic pharyngeal destruction as a procurable service or supply. State and local purchasing does not systematically tag or solicit this procedure line; the code appears to reflect a data-entry mismatch rather than an active procurement category.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office, California's City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and Santa Clara County Health System in California. These represent a mix of municipal, county, and state health or administrative functions, but the work actually being solicited—benefits administration, temporary staffing, and occupational health oversight—does not correspond to the code's nominal definition. No recent opportunities show procurement of endoscopic surgical equipment, supplies, or services aligned with pharyngeal destruction. Businesses evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and monitor for corrected code assignments in future opportunities from these jurisdictions.
