UNSPSC 85583434: Drainage of larynx, 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 0C9S3ZZ

UNSPSC 85583434 Drainage of larynx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve laryngeal drainage procedures or percutaneous laryngeal interventions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). This breadth suggests either a systematic coding misalignment in the source data or that the code has been applied to medical-administration services rather than clinical procedures.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix retirement medical evaluations), California (Long Beach employee benefits, Santa Clara temporary staffing), Washington (state ferry occupational medicine), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). The only true clinical-services procurement—the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations—remains distant from the code's stated scope of laryngeal procedures. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting laryngeal drainage services or percutaneous laryngeal interventions from state and local buyers, this code does not present a meaningful market signal for vendors in that clinical specialty.
