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 0BB20ZZ

UNSPSC 85571975 Excision of carina, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this surgical-procedure code do not align with its scope: instead of purchasing carina excision services, state and local governments are soliciting comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which constitute the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's narrow clinical definition and how state and local procurement systems are tagging healthcare and medical-service opportunities.

The geographic distribution of these mislabeled opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, consolidated municipal governments, and special health districts. The most recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026, monthly cost $95,537.71 under the expiring CorrectHealth contract), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026, effective October 1, 2026), San Mateo County's MHSA peer support pilot ($580,000 total, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025). If your firm pursues state and local healthcare contracting, verify the UNSPSC coding directly with issuing bodies before positioning against opportunities tagged under this code.
