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 0BV17ZZ

UNSPSC 85571071 Restriction of trachea, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve tracheal restriction procedures or the clinical interventions the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the purchasing activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this Commodity as a catch-all classifier for health services contracting when more specific codes are unavailable or unknown to issuing bodies.

State and local health departments, county commissioners, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices are the primary issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code. Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code shows no coherent purchasing pattern aligned to its nominal scope, and prospective bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy.
