This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left vocal cord with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85583306 Supplement left vocal cord with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to vocal cord procedures or implant manufacturing. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are applying the code outside its intended clinical domain.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems and procurement divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No opportunities in this posting relate to vocal cord implants, tissue substitutes, or otolaryngological supply or device procurement.
