This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lower lip, open approach. 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 0CC10ZZ

UNSPSC 85581150 Extirpation of matter from lower lip, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on oral tissue; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to that scope and instead reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services contracting, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which constitute surgical procedures or oral surgery. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that this code has drifted in application from its intended meaning. State and local governments posting under this code are not buying surgical intervention but rather health services contracting, claims processing, examination scheduling, and staffing.

The recent opportunities span multiple state and local jurisdictions including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), with response dates ranging from September 2026 through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Because the actual solicitations diverge materially from the code's nominal scope, the code shows little meaningful activity for firms pursuing oral surgery-related opportunities.
