UNSPSC 85621192: Destruction of left carotid body, open approach

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 0G560ZZ

UNSPSC 85621192 Destruction of left carotid body, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the posted opportunities tagged to it. Recent state and local solicitations under this code are pursuing occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits for employee health plans, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve the surgical destruction of carotid body tissue; the mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic miscoding issue within the jurisdiction systems that issued these opportunities.

The six opportunities span multiple state and local issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — with response dates between September and October 2026. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code itself does not reflect the actual services being procured, buyers evaluating this code should verify procurement data and consider filtering by the actual service categories (occupational medicine, disability evaluation, pharmacy administration, temporary staffing, center-of-excellence networks) rather than relying on the surgical code alone.
