UNSPSC 85583537: Destruction of epiglottis, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0C5R4ZZ

UNSPSC 85583537 Destruction of epiglottis, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), and occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation)—are administrative health benefit and occupational medicine services, not surgical procedures or epiglottis destruction. Two additional opportunities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services and Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing) are similarly misaligned with the code's surgical scope. The code's clinical-procedure nomenclature appears inconsistent with how state and local procurement offices actually classify health administration, employee benefit, and occupational health contracts.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include city retirement offices, municipal HR and benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county probation systems, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No opportunities represent procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect genuine state and local demand for epiglottis destruction services. Vendors should verify code applicability with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged with this UNSPSC designation.
