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 0C5T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583372 Destruction of right vocal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical destruction of vocal cord tissue; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error or a fundamental misalignment in how the code has been applied to these opportunities.

The six opportunities in the source span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates between September 25 and October 16, 2026. Representatives include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), Collier County's PBM administration RFP covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, but the source date conflict suggests this posting may be outdated), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification pool across 13 clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations target vocal cord destruction procedures or ENT surgical services; state and local buyers appear to be using this code outside its intended scope, making pursuit decisions difficult without clarification of the actual code assignment.
