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 0CBR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85583360 Excision of epiglottis, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision of the epiglottis or related surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader healthcare service contracts, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual scope of work being bought.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county corrections departments (Muscogee County Prison), county human resources and health benefits divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County Health), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Florida, and California, with activity concentrated in county-level healthcare and benefits administration rather than surgical services. Representative opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 employees and family members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP 628 for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical procedures and vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
