UNSPSC 85583726: Release epiglottis, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release epiglottis, 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 0CNR7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583726 Release epiglottis, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical designation does not correspond to any work being solicited in the recent opportunities tagged to it. State and local governments do not appear to be buying epiglottis-release procedures or related surgical services under this code; the recent opportunities include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programming for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve epiglottis procedures or the airway interventions the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Georgia, Florida, and California, but the mismatch between code definition and procurement substance indicates that this code either receives sparse relevant activity or is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems. No issuing body appears more than once in the recent record, and the opportunities themselves address workforce healthcare, benefit administration, and clinical leadership rather than surgical or procedural medical goods. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and verify coding assignments in future solicitations before investing pursuit effort.
