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 0C520ZZ

UNSPSC 85581999 Destruction of hard palate, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal medical procedure scope does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it; the recent solicitations reflect general health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve hard palate destruction or related surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical definition and the broad health services and benefits management work actually being tagged suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or structural misalignment in how this code is applied at the state and local level.

Recent opportunities carrying this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting surgical carve-out and Center of Excellence network management for employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) is managing pharmacy benefit administration with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Absent procurement activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope, this code does not represent a near-term pursuit opportunity.
