UNSPSC 85583519: Extirpation of matter from epiglottis, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from epiglottis, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0CCR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85583519 Extirpation of matter from epiglottis, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical or procedural services matching its nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities posted include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for employee health plans, 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 involves the specific surgical procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited suggests that this code may be tagged incorrectly in the procurement system, or that the opportunities captured do not represent the true body of work under UNSPSC 85583519. The recent opportunities span multiple state and local issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California)—but none involve the epiglottal procedure the code nominally describes. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually procuring this specific surgical service, the code does not present a meaningful pursuit signal for business development purposes.
