UNSPSC 85583670: Replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue 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 0CRR7KZ

UNSPSC 85583670 Replacement of epiglottis with nonautologous tissue substitute, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve epiglottis replacement or related surgical reconstruction.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that this UNSPSC classification is not in active use for state and local procurement in a manner consistent with its medical-procedure definition. Buyers pursuing opportunities in this code space should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP or RFQ directly rather than relying on the code name. If your firm is positioned to serve occupational health, disability medical evaluation, employee health benefits administration, or hospital-based specialty care for public entities, the recent opportunities shown are live leads, but they reflect broader health services categories rather than surgical reconstructive procedures.
