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 0GB40ZZ

UNSPSC 85621160, Excision of bilateral adrenal glands, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code concern occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary clinical staffing qualification, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve adrenal gland excision or surgical procedures matching the code's clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended use and its application to health services contracting.

The recent opportunities do reflect health services procurement across multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out Centers of Excellence for employee health plans, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County (pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 7,200 covered members, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing qualification pool, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope and should not be relied upon for planning pursuit of surgical procedure contracts.
