This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right vocal cord, percutaneous 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 0CCT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85583423 Extirpation of matter from right vocal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity documented in the recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the vocal cord; however, the six posted state and local solicitations using this code tag medical administrative services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve extirpation of vocal cord matter. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to classify healthcare and benefits procurement broadly rather than to describe this specific procedure.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county commissioners board (Collier County). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.
