UNSPSC 85583656: Replacement of right vocal cord with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right vocal cord with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0CRT8JZ

UNSPSC 85583656 Replacement of right vocal cord with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect the code's nominal scope. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vocal cord replacement, yet the most recent solicitations posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span administrative medical review, benefits plan management, and clinical staffing—none of which align with the procurement or delivery of vocal cord replacement procedures or related implants and surgical instruments. The mismatch indicates either systematic code mistagging at the issuing bodies or that state and local procurement systems are using this code as a catch-all for broader medical services outside its intended commodity definition.

Given the absence of solicitations actually seeking vocal cord replacement procedures, synthetic vocal cord implants, or related surgical supplies under this code, there is no active state and local procurement activity to characterize. The recent opportunities bearing this code number address health plan administration, occupational health compliance, medical evaluation services, and workforce staffing—categories that fall outside medical device procurement or surgical procedure specification. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for any specific work involving vocal cord replacement devices, surgical instruments, or related implant services before pursuing opportunities tagged with 85583656.
