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 0CB40ZZ

UNSPSC 85581154 Excision of buccal mucosa, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this category. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code center on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with oral surgical procedures. The code shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope and current procurement activity, indicating either miscoding at the issuing-body level or database classification errors that render the code unreliable for targeting actual opportunities.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with recent-opportunity variety spanning multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical care networks and Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. Bidders pursuing this code should verify the specific work scope against their actual service lines before engaging, as the nominal code descriptor appears decoupled from procurement intent.
