This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0C9T8ZZ

UNSPSC 85583753 Drainage of right vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy descriptor does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing services (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations address occupational health compliance, employee and retiree benefits administration, detention facility healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — not otolaryngological procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-entry error in the taxonomy assignment.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. No single jurisdiction dominates. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Without a meaningful alignment between the code's procedural descriptor and the work actually being solicited, this code does not reliably signal procurement activity relevant to ENT or endoscopic surgical service providers.
