UNSPSC 85583331: Replacement of larynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of larynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0CRS0KZ

UNSPSC 85583331 Replacement of larynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—involve medical administration, occupational health compliance, or clinical staffing rather than laryngeal replacement procedures or implant procurement. None of the solicitations describe procurement of larynx prosthetics, surgical implants, or the specific procedure this code nominally addresses.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that either the tagging is erroneous or the code is rarely used for state and local contracting in this specialty surgical area. Jurisdictions that do perform laryngeal replacement procedures likely procure implants and related supplies through existing group purchasing organization frameworks, prime vendor contracts, or health system formulary arrangements rather than standalone solicitations. No meaningful geographic pattern, issuing-body concentration, or recent procurement momentum exists under this code in the state and local market.
