UNSPSC 85583665: Replacement of larynx with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of larynx with synthetic substitute, 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 0CRS7JZ

UNSPSC 85583665 Replacement of larynx with synthetic substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's abstract definition does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification; those opportunities center on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve laryngeal prosthetics or larynx replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests this code may be a data tagging error in the source system rather than a meaningful procurement category for implantable laryngeal devices.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; Collier County, Florida), large cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), a county probation department (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Texas), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System, California). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension applicants with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out management for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; however, because the code itself does not accurately reflect what these jurisdictions are actually buying, the code does not present a reliable procurement opportunity for business development targeting.
