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 0GN64ZZ

UNSPSC 85621334 Release left carotid body, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, state and local issuing bodies have tagged this code to solicit comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and emergency medical director contracts—none of which involve the surgical intervention the code nominates. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged or that the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare procurement when more precise codes would be appropriate.

The opportunities posted under this code over the past four months originate from diverse issuing bodies: the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for county employees and dependents), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care services), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support services for peer workers), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services for emergency medical services). Opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a focused procurement category with reliable decision signals for business development purposes.
