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 0GNC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85621216 Release glomus jugulare, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code—ranging from inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, to pharmacy benefit management for Collier County Florida, to virtual primary and urgent care for Monroe County Florida, to peer support services for San Mateo County California, to medical direction services for Santa Monica Fire Department in California—span correctional health, employee health plans, virtual care platforms, behavioral health innovation pilots, and emergency medical services medical direction. None of these solicitations involves the neurosurgical procedure named in the code's abstract description. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities, or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare service categories rather than a specific surgical procedure. State and local buyers do not appear to be procuring neurosurgical releases of glomus jugulare tumors; the code's recent activity reflects misclassification of health services contracts that should fall under different UNSPSC families or classes focused on medical service delivery, pharmacy administration, or occupational health management. Pursuit of opportunities under this code requires verification that the actual scope of work matches your firm's capabilities, as the nominal code definition does not correspond to the work actually being solicited.
