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 0C9QXZZ

UNSPSC 85582437 Drainage of adenoids, external approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five most-recent opportunities tagged to it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director recruitment — none of which involve adenoid drainage or match the procedural scope implied by the code name. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this Commodity code as a catch-all for medical services contracts that do not fit more-specific taxonomy entries.

The recent opportunities do reflect active state and local procurement for comprehensive healthcare services across issuing bodies including county correctional facilities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health plan administration (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Representative solicitations include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026, estimated monthly cost $95,537.71 under current contract), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026, effective October 1, 2026). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. The code appears functionally misaligned with actual buying patterns and warrants verification against the correct taxonomy tier or code assignment before pursuit.
