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 0BB23ZZ

UNSPSC 85572275 Excision of carina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical name refers to a specific surgical procedure—percutaneous removal of the carina (the cartilage structure where the trachea branches into the bronchi)—yet recent opportunities tagged under it span healthcare service contracting with no mention of this or related surgical procedures. State and local governments are using this code to solicit comprehensive healthcare and medical management services rather than discrete surgical interventions or medical devices.

Recent opportunities include inmate medical and pharmacy services contracts (Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison RFP posted April 2026, due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management services for county employee health plans (Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 posted April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care platforms for county members (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners RFP 628 posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County Health RFP 2025-007 posted February 25, 2026), and medical direction oversight for fire department EMS programs (Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 455 posted February 25, 2026). The issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, city fire departments, and county health departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. The code appears to capture healthcare service delivery, benefits administration, and clinical oversight contracting rather than surgical procedures or equipment, suggesting either classification drift in the tagging system or a systematic mismatch between the code's clinical definition and how procurement offices are applying it to broader healthcare sourcing.
