UNSPSC 85583704: Repair right vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right vocal cord, 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 0CQT7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583704 Repair right vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for vocal cord repair, yet the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve direct vocal cord repair or ENT surgery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in the source data.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and cities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Coast—Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the absence of opportunities that directly match the code's nominal scope, firms evaluating this Commodity code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify coding against the actual service or product lines their sales targets require.
