UNSPSC 85583636: Resection of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left vocal cord, 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 0CTV7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583636 Resection of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on vocal tissue, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement — none of which involve vocal cord resection or any surgical procedure matching the code's description. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical specificity and how state and local agencies are actually using it in practice.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System, with activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. No single jurisdiction appears more than once, and the work solicited ranges from specialized administrative medical services (Phoenix's disability evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026) to broad-based staffing procurement (Santa Clara's multi-category temporary health professional vendor pool, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's nominal scope and the nature of opportunities posted against it, this code presents significant ambiguity for business development purposes and warrants verification with the issuing procurement office before pursuing any opportunity tagged to it.
