UNSPSC 85583770: Destruction of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0C5V7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583770 Destruction of left vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which align with the specific procedure named in the code's descriptor. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the state and local procurement system is using this code as a catch-all for disparate medical service categories rather than for a narrowly defined surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of jurisdictions: a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), two counties (Harris County, Collier County), two cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Recent opportunities cluster geographically in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with response dates spanning August through October 2026. Without concrete recent opportunities that actually describe vocal cord destruction or related laryngeal procedures, this code does not support a meaningful procurement pursuit signal at this time.
