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 00BB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85471123 Excision of pons, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a highly specialized neurosurgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the nominal UNSPSC scope. The five most recent solicitations tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve excision of the pons or any neurosurgical intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the UNSPSC descriptor and actual procurement suggests either systematic miscoding in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or an artifact of broad tagging practices that override commodity-level precision.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county governments and municipal departments: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). Across these five recent opportunities, activity spans corrections healthcare contracting (Columbus Consolidated Government), county employee health benefits administration (Collier County and Monroe County), county mental health services (San Mateo County), and municipal emergency services (Santa Monica). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges in the available record. Geographic distribution includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration in a single state or region. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC assignment in their target jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing in positioning, as the current activity does not support pursuit under the stated commodity descriptor.
