UNSPSC 85581524: Excision of pharynx, 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 0CBM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85581524 Excision of pharynx, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 and tagged under this code describe inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and a fire department medical director contract — none of which involve surgical excision procedures or match the code's clinical scope. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that this Commodity code is not an active procurement vehicle in state and local markets.

State and local buyers do procure healthcare services, but they route those purchases through broader codes (such as family-tier health care services or class-tier administrative codes) rather than through granular clinical procedure codes designed for inpatient hospital billing. The few opportunities appearing under this code — Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate healthcare contract for Muscogee County Prison, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP, Monroe County's virtual primary care RFP, San Mateo County's behavioral health peer support project, and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP — reflect a pattern of miscoding rather than genuine demand for this specific procedure code. Firms pursuing state and local health care contracts should monitor higher-tier health care family and class codes rather than procedure-specific commodity codes.
