UNSPSC 85583610: Revision of drainage device in larynx, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in larynx, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0CWS70Z

UNSPSC 85583610 Revision of drainage device in larynx, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope—laryngeal drainage procedures—does not match the mix of opportunities posted under this classification in the past two months. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System), disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), and pediatric detention healthcare (Harris County Juvenile Probation). None of these activities involve laryngeal procedures or related ENT surgical devices.

This code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously across multiple issuing bodies and service categories. The geographic spread of recent postings spans Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas, but the opportunities themselves address administrative health benefits, staffing placement, occupational health compliance, and detention medical services—categories that fall outside the code's stated clinical domain. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it, this code presents little decision-relevant activity for vendors in laryngeal device revision or related surgical instrumentation. Buyers and business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for their specific service areas rather than rely on this classification for procurement planning.
