UNSPSC 85583334: Replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of epiglottis 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 0CRR0KZ

UNSPSC 85583334 Replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure scope. The code's nominal clinical definition—a specific surgical intervention—does not match the actual work being solicited under this tag in recent state and local opportunities.

The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention medical services. None involves epiglottis replacement or tissue substitution procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management solicitation (due April 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services request (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026) represent the most recent activity. These are issued by state departments, county agencies, and public health systems across Washington, Florida, Arizona, and California, but none procures surgical procedures or medical devices. The code appears to have been misapplied to administrative and occupational health services rather than inpatient surgical care, rendering the code a poor signal for pursuit of procedure-related work.
