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 0CT70ZZ

UNSPSC 85582204 "Resection of tongue, open approach" is a Commodity code representing a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical services. Instead, the tagged solicitations reflect healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care services, peer support programs, and medical direction — none of which involve tongue resection or surgical procedures. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured by state and local agencies under this designation. The opportunities reflect institutional healthcare purchasing by county governments and special districts, with issuing bodies including Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). Scope includes comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management covering thousands of members, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and EMS medical direction.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), with recent posts from February through May 2026. Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026, covering 576 inmates with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026, with an October 1, 2026 effective date. The code's poor alignment with recent procurement activity suggests that either the tagging is inconsistent with actual sourcing needs or this particular surgical procedure code is not currently being procured by state and local bodies in meaningful volume.
