UNSPSC 85583335: Replacement of epiglottis with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of epiglottis with synthetic 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 0CRR0JZ

UNSPSC 85583335 Replacement of epiglottis with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with procurement of synthetic epiglottis replacement devices or implants. State and local bodies tag health-related services and benefit administration broadly under medical and surgical codes in the UNSPSC taxonomy, but the actual work being solicited does not involve acquisition of the specific surgical device or implant this code nominates.

No state or local government procurement opportunities for synthetic epiglottis replacements or related surgical implants appear in the recent-opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent activity suggests either that this device category sees minimal state and local demand, or that issuing bodies are applying the code to services and programs outside its intended commodity description. Without evidence of actual device procurement under this code, the category presents limited business development opportunity in the state and local market today.
