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 0DBJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85601424 Excision of appendix, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local healthcare procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The five most recently posted solicitations under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical directorship — none of which involve surgical procedures or appendectomies. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems; while the nominal scope suggests surgical intervention, the opportunities actually being solicited involve healthcare administration, management services, and clinical support roles across correctional, municipal, county benefits, and behavioral health contexts. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County), consolidated city-county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia), county health departments (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), indicating activity across counties, cities, and special-purpose health authorities rather than medical facilities or surgical service providers.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica), with no concentration evident across states. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, a 576-inmate facility with current monthly costs of $95,537.71; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. The code shows no relevant recent activity for surgical procedures and should not be relied upon for business development in perioperative or hospital-based surgical service markets.
