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 07TB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85541042 Resection of mesenteric lymphatic, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code—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—represent administrative health care contracting, employee benefits management, and clinical supervision rather than surgical procedures or anatomical resection services. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet state and local governments are using the code to solicit broad health care administration, benefits management, and medical direction services that fall outside surgical specialties entirely.

The issuing bodies span county government agencies and special purpose districts: Muscogee County Prison (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Recent opportunities include a two-year annual contract for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), a three-year pharmacy benefit management contract for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees at Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), a twenty-four-month virtual primary and urgent care platform for approximately 2,300 Monroe County members (RFP 628, due April 16, 2026), a three-year peer support pilot project funded at $580,000 by San Mateo County BHRS (RFP No. 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and a three-year fire department medical director contract at Santa Monica Fire Department (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). The code shows activity across the Southeast, Florida, and California, though the mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or an inappropriate code assignment by issuing bodies unfamiliar with UNSPSC taxonomy.
