This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left vocal cord, 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 0CBV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85583520 Excision of left vocal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement contexts does not reflect the work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve vocal cord procedures. The code appears to be a miscategorization or data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting medical and health services in recent weeks—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth)—are using this code incorrectly. The geographic spread spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas. With no recent opportunities actually matching the code's stated scope, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors pursuing vocal cord surgery-related procurement.
