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 00DL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473828 Extraction of abducens nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical-procedure title and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve extraction of the abducens nerve or any surgical extraction procedure. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or administrative classification for healthcare service procurements rather than for the specific ophthalmologic or neurological surgical intervention its name describes. State and local health departments, county human resources divisions, county boards of commissioners, and county behavioral health agencies are the issuing bodies, and no evidence in the recent record supports this code as tracking actual surgical or specialized medical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with the most recent postings from Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia; RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County, Florida (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County, Florida (RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County, California (RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica, California (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). The code shows minimal decision-relevance to vendors pursuing state and local contracts in healthcare delivery, pharmacy management, or emergency services medical oversight; the UNSPSC code assignment does not accurately reflect procurement scope, and pursuit decisions should be based on the actual service category (healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, or emergency medical services) rather than on this code's nominal surgical-procedure definition.
