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 03BV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502701 Excision of left thyroid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—do not represent procurement of thyroid artery excision or related surgical services. The mismatch indicates either systematic misclassification of these health care and social services opportunities or a data error in the coding structure. None of the posted solicitations involve procurement of surgical procedures, surgical supplies, or procedural services that would align with the code's stated scope.

State and local bodies issuing under this code, based on the opportunities present, include county health departments (Collier County, Monroe County), county correctional authorities (Muscogee County Prison), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County BHRS), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). Activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, California, and other states, with no clear geographic concentration. Recent opportunities include a Columbus Consolidated Government RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), a Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), a Monroe County RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), a San Mateo County BHRS RFP for peer support services totaling $580,000 in funding (due July 2, 2025), and a Santa Monica Fire Department RFP for medical director services (due October 16, 2025). The code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local business development focus.
