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 0BBS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573416 Excision of left diaphragm, open approach is a Commodity code that maps to medical and healthcare service contracting by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent solicitations under this code show little alignment with the literal surgical procedure named in the taxonomy. The opportunities posted reflect procurement for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures. State and local bodies issuing under this code include county corrections departments, county human resources and health benefits divisions, county boards of commissioners overseeing health coverage, county behavioral health departments, and municipal fire departments. The Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government) and Collier County Board of County Commissioners appear as recent issuers; Monroe County, San Mateo County, and the City of Santa Monica also posted opportunities in the first quarter of 2026.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. The most current opportunity is Monroe County, Florida's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services due April 16, 2026, covering approximately 2,300 county members with 24/7 urgent care and integrated telemedicine; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services is due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million and a three-year initial term; Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison is due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 and a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals. The code's recent posting activity suggests that UNSPSC categorization here is taxonomically misaligned with the actual work being procured — the surgical procedure name does not reflect the healthcare administration, managed care, and occupational health services state and local governments are actively buying.
