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 03BU0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502702 Excision of right thyroid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy reflect comprehensive healthcare service delivery and management contracts that bear no direct relationship to thyroid surgery or any surgical intervention. The misalignment between the code's technical medical scope and the actual solicitations—which encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—indicates the code is either incorrectly assigned by issuing bodies or carries metadata that does not reflect genuine procurement intent in the state and local market.

The most recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care), Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services), California (San Mateo County peer support pilot), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director), posted between February and April 2026 with response deadlines ranging from April 2026 through October 2025. No pattern of repeat buyers under this code is evident, and the absence of opportunities that actually solicit thyroid surgery or related surgical services suggests this code does not warrant active business development pursuit in state and local markets. Firms pursuing contracts in inmate healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care, behavioral health, or public-sector medical direction should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before developing responses, as the current code assignment does not reflect the work being solicited.
