UNSPSC 85583776: Destruction of epiglottis, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of epiglottis, 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 0C5R7ZZ

UNSPSC 85583776 Destruction of epiglottis, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six posted opportunities in the source material span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of surgical destruction of the epiglottis. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular procedure code does not reflect active state and local buying patterns in the current procurement environment.

State and local governments issue opportunities under this code infrequently enough that recent activity cannot be characterized by issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative solicitations tied to the code's actual scope. The opportunities present instead reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing procurement — City of Phoenix (pension disability evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical benefits network carve-outs, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The code does not appear to be an active procurement vector for medical device or surgical-procedure vendors under state and local procurement at this time.
