UNSPSC 85583706: Repair larynx, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair larynx, 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 0CQS7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583706 Repair larynx, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical or medical repair procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code do not solicit laryngeal repair services or related surgical supplies and equipment. Instead, state and local bodies are using this code—or it is being applied—to classify broad healthcare administration and delivery contracts including inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support worker programs, and emergency medical direction. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (a specific otolaryngologic procedure) and the wide range of health services actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data alignment issue in how opportunities are being tagged to UNSPSC categories.

No recent opportunities directly solicit laryngeal repair services, repair equipment, or related supplies under this code. The tagged opportunities—Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management (RFP, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot ($580,000 total, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director contract (RFP, due October 16, 2025)—span healthcare administration, managed care, and occupational health rather than specific surgical procedures. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for laryngeal repair products or services before relying on this code for market research or pursuit strategy; the current tagging does not reflect genuine procurement of the work this code nominally describes.
