UNSPSC 85583640: Resection of larynx, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of 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 0CTS7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583640 Resection of larynx, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The state and local market is instead buying occupational and disability medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-outs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involves laryngeal resection or match the procedural specificity the code name implies. The issuing bodies include a state transportation agency, county government departments, city retirement offices, city human resources departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments—a diverse institutional mix reflecting general healthcare and benefits administration rather than specialty surgical services.

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Florida (Collier County), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington state (multiple ferry terminals), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for pension boards (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's apparent misclassification suggests that this UNSPSC category merits review for reclassification or removal from active use in state and local procurement datasets.
