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 05BS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521091 Excision of left vertebral vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical services or medical procedures. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to a disparate set of healthcare administration and services contracting opportunities, including jail medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's surgical designation and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either data entry error in the opportunities or a fundamental misclassification in how this commodity code has been tagged by the issuing jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County, Georgia) posted RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with a May 15, 2026 response date; Collier County, Florida (Board of County Commissioners) issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with a due date of April 9, 2026; Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP on March 14, 2026 for virtual primary and urgent care services (proposals due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County, California (Behavioral Health and Recovery Services) posted RFP No. 2025-007 for a mental health peer support pilot project with $580,000 in total funding; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 for a medical director with a posted date of February 25, 2026. Activity is concentrated in Florida and California, with representation from Georgia and individual county or municipal healthcare systems rather than state-level procurement. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and every recent opportunity posted under it, this code shows little relevant state and local procurement activity in its intended scope.
