UNSPSC 85583772 Destruction of right vocal cord, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that displays a fundamental mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vocal cord destruction or otolaryngologic surgery; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention healthcare, and specialty medical services for public-sector populations. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement databases rather than a reflection of genuine purchasing intent. No recent state and local opportunities actually solicit vocal cord destruction services or related otolaryngologic procedures.

The jurisdictions posting opportunities under this code include large city retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county procurement offices serving employee benefit programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and regional public-sector health consortia. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative posted opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with $750,000 maximum compensation over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). This code shows no actionable market signal for vendors in vocal cord destruction or related otolaryngologic procedures.
