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 00BA3ZZ

UNSPSC 85471122 Excision of hypothalamus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to any actual state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five recent state and local opportunities posted across this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve excision of the hypothalamus or percutaneous surgical procedures of any kind. State and local governments appear to have miscoded these opportunities, likely using a healthcare taxonomy that does not align with UNSPSC's medical procedure classification system.

The mismatch signals that this code does not represent active state and local procurement in the conventional sense. The opportunities that were tagged under it reflect county and municipal healthcare service contracting—employee health benefits, correctional health, and behavioral health support—rather than surgical intervention. Buyers should treat this code as dormant for state and local purposes and verify the actual scope of work through the underlying opportunity notices rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification.
