UNSPSC 85583751: Drainage of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 0C9V7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583751 Drainage of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the vocal cord—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC classification. The six state and local solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical evaluations and record review (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve vocal cord drainage procedures or related otolaryngologic surgery, suggesting a coding or tagging mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual procurement activities. The issuing bodies span state transportation and health departments, county governments, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

Practitioners should treat this code as a low-priority monitoring category. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the health-services-administration and staffing work actually being solicited under it indicates that vendors with operational focus on vocal cord procedures or head-and-neck surgery will find limited relevance in the posted opportunities. If your firm pursues medical staffing, occupational health services, or benefits administration for public employers, the recent activity under this code serves as a redirect signal—opportunities in those categories may be tagged more accurately under different UNSPSC classifications, such as codes governing temporary staffing services, occupational health programs, or benefits consulting. No opportunities with response dates past mid-October 2026 appear in the source.
