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 0GQ84ZZ

UNSPSC 85621320 Repair bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, disability medical record review, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve repair of bilateral carotid bodies or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code appears to be a procedural taxonomy entry that does not map to the kinds of goods or services state and local governments actually procure through public contracting. State and local health system purchasing in the opportunities block centers on staffing models, benefit administration, medical surveillance compliance, and care coordination rather than on direct procurement of specific surgical procedures.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city pension boards, county health systems, departments of transportation, and county procurement offices. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that vendors tracking this code for procurement opportunity would find limited decision-relevant activity; those pursuing health services contracts should monitor state and local health systems and pension boards more broadly rather than rely on this code's narrow procedural designation.
