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 0G983ZZ

UNSPSC 85621258 Drainage of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the surgical drainage procedure named in the code's title. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, indicating broad fragmentation across different institutional buyers with no clear repeat purchaser pattern in the recent block.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities extends across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington (state-level ferries), and Texas (Harris County). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the services actually being procured suggests either a taxonomy error in the source data or that this code is not the appropriate classification for these health services opportunities.
