UNSPSC 85583742: Excision of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 0CBV7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583742 Excision of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve medical administration, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vocal cord excision or comparable surgical interventions. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county and municipal governments (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose districts (pension boards and health systems), but the work they are soliciting does not align with the code's stated clinical procedure.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with representative recent opportunities including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's medical surveillance contract for ferry system workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be tagged inconsistently with medical administration and occupational health services rather than operative procedures. This code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope and warrants verification against the correct commodity classification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
