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 0D5H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85601349 Destruction of cecum, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve surgical services or cecal destruction procedures; instead, they span inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations align with the code's stated surgical focus. The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of county and municipal purchasing divisions across multiple states, including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California).

The geographic activity centers on Florida and California, with secondary presence in Georgia. The most recent and substantive opportunity is Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; the contract is valued at approximately $95,537.71 monthly under the current provider, CorrectHealth Companies LLC, expiring September 30, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida posted an RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. The code appears to be a classification error or artifact in the state and local procurement databases, as the solicitations do not reflect surgical or procedural healthcare purchasing. Firms pursuing work in correctional healthcare, public employee pharmacy benefits, or county virtual care services would find relevant activity in these opportunities, but they should not rely on this code for ongoing pipeline development—the code itself does not meaningfully reflect the work being bought.
