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 09NC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85562654 Release left mastoid sinus, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to surgical services and instead reflect healthcare administration and provider services across correctional, municipal, and county contexts. The code shows a significant misalignment between its taxonomy definition and actual procurement activity. None of the recent opportunities involve mastoid sinus procedures or any surgical intervention; instead, they center on inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director contracting. This systematic mismatch suggests the code is either being applied incorrectly by posting jurisdictions or has become a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services that do not fit elsewhere in the UNSPSC structure.

Activity spans Florida counties (Collier, Monroe), Georgia (Muscogee County via Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County), with recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026. Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), covering medical intake, chronic care, emergency services, dental services, and pharmacy management for approximately 576 inmates under a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spend (due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members with 24/7 access and bilingual support (due April 16, 2026). Additional activity includes San Mateo County's MHSA Innovation peer support services RFP and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP. No clear pattern of repeat buyers emerges from this sample, and the absence of any surgical or otologic work signals that firms pursuing this code should verify the actual scope before bid preparation.
