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 09NB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85562840 Release right mastoid sinus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure — a percutaneous approach to mastoid sinus release — yet the recent opportunities posted under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations reference mastoid sinus procedures or ENT surgical services. State and local governments procuring healthcare services do issue RFPs under medical-services UNSPSC codes, but the mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the broad healthcare-administration and clinical-oversight work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-integration issue at the source. The issuing bodies posting under this code include county health departments (Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County), county correctional facilities (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), indicating a healthcare-services procurement pattern rather than a surgical-procedure-specific purchasing activity.

Recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (proposals due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP 628 for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP No. 2025-007 for mental health peer support services ($580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for an EMS medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows activity across Georgia, Florida, and California; however, the procedural scope named in the UNSPSC taxonomy itself does not appear in any of these solicitations. Business development professionals evaluating this code should confirm the actual clinical or administrative services being bought before pursuing opportunities posted under it, as the code definition and procurement reality do not correspond.
