UNSPSC 85471243: Release medulla oblongata, percutaneous endoscopic approach

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 00ND4ZZ

UNSPSC 85471243 Release medulla oblongata, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—do not align with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local posting systems, or the opportunities represent downstream health service administration rather than the specific clinical procedure named in the taxonomy. State and local buyers posting under this code appear to be seeking comprehensive healthcare delivery, pharmacy management, and related administrative services rather than procurement of release procedures, medulla oblongata treatment, or endoscopic equipment or supplies.

The jurisdictions posting under the code span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department). Activity dates cluster in February through May 2026, with response windows ranging from immediate (Collier County, April 9, 2026 deadline already passed as of this writing) to mid-year (Monroe County, April 16, 2026; Columbus, May 15, 2026). Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services for a 576-bed facility (response due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71, incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million, and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. None of these solicitations reference the clinical procedure or equipment scope the UNSPSC code nominally describes, indicating vendors should verify actual buyer needs before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
