UNSPSC 85583366: Drainage of larynx with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of larynx with drainage device, 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 0C9S00Z

UNSPSC 85583366 Drainage of larynx with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — laryngeal drainage with an open approach using a drainage device — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve laryngeal surgery or drainage procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities encompass occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve laryngeal procedures or devices, indicating either systematic misclassification of these opportunities or a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical scope and state and local government purchasing practice at this code level.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation for ferry worker medical surveillance), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, Florida, California, Texas, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of laryngeal drainage procurement in these records, this code does not currently represent a meaningful opportunity pipeline for vendors in surgical devices, laryngeal instruments, or ENT-focused services.
