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 072MXYZ

UNSPSC 85542416 Change other device in thymus, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses surgical device changes in thymus procedures, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect this scope — instead, they center on correctional healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve thymic device procedures or external thymus approaches.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing-body types and geographies with no connection to the code's stated medical device focus. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) posted an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison due May 15, 2026, covering comprehensive jail healthcare, chronic care management, pharmacy services, and dental care for approximately 576 inmates — a correctional healthcare contract with current monthly costs of $95,537.71. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026, managing coverage for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical pharmacy spending near $8.7 million annually. Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026, for approximately 2,300 county members. San Mateo County Health in California posted an RFP for a Mental Health Services Act Innovation peer support project, and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) sought a physician medical director. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, but the activity reflects general healthcare administration and service delivery rather than the thymic surgical device procedures the code nominally covers. This code appears to be a tagging error and warrants verification before pursuit.
