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 03VV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502501 Restriction of left thyroid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities identified in the recent contract records. The source shows no relevant healthcare procurement activity under this surgical procedure code; instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC describe comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thyroid artery restriction procedures or surgical interventions at all. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured suggests either a data classification error in the underlying records or that this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local governments.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span multiple states and issuing bodies — the Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia (inmate medical services), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County in Florida (virtual care services), San Mateo County in California (behavioral health peer support), and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California (medical director services) — but the projects themselves are administrative, clinical management, and support services procurement rather than surgical procedures. If this code is intended to capture surgical or procedural services purchased by state and local healthcare systems, the recent record shows no demand; if the tagging is in error, the code warrants investigation before pursuing opportunities under it.
