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 05B00ZZ

UNSPSC 85521724 Excision of azygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the opportunities posted against it. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these activities involve surgical intervention or vascular procedures. The mismatch between code and actual procurement intent signals either systematic miscoding in the issuing jurisdictions' databases or a fundamental taxonomy misalignment that obscures the actual commodity or service family being bought.

The recent opportunities span Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP posted April 15, 2026 with May 15, 2026 response deadline), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP posted April 9, 2026; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, RFP posted March 14, 2026 with April 16, 2026 response deadline), California (San Mateo County peer support for peer workers, RFP posted February 25, 2026 with July 2, 2025 response deadline; Santa Monica Fire Department medical director, RFP posted February 25, 2026 with October 16, 2025 response deadline). The issuing bodies include county health authorities, county procurement divisions, fire departments, and county behavioral health services. Given the complete disconnect between the code's stated surgical scope and the health services, benefits administration, and peer support work actually being procured, this code should not be considered a reliable indicator of state and local procurement opportunity in these categories.
