This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0CDV8ZZ

UNSPSC 85583729 Extraction of left vocal cord via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vocal cord extraction or endoscopic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to medical services and benefits administration work that falls outside its intended scope.

The geographic spread of opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code does not reflect active state and local procurement for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.
