UNSPSC 85583667 Replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving epiglottis replacement, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it — independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth — do not involve epiglottis procedures or tissue substitutes. The solicitations instead reflect broader occupational health, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing procurement. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is serving as a catch-all for miscellaneous healthcare services rather than its nominal commodity scope.

The issuing bodies span multiple state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent record. The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant concentration. Given the apparent mismatch between the code's technical name and the actual work being solicited, vendors should verify coding accuracy with procurement offices before investing in pursuit strategy under this commodity code.
