UNSPSC 85583349: Release epiglottis, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release epiglottis, 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 0CNR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583349 Release epiglottis, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration, management services, and benefit plan operations rather than any procedural or medical device procurement. The issuing bodies in the recent record span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), soliciting contracts for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical directorship. None of these opportunities involves release of the epiglottis or surgical procedures of any kind.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026) serving approximately 2,300 county members. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a taxonomic mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the healthcare administration work being solicited.
