UNSPSC 85622318: Reposition right thyroid gland lobe, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right thyroid gland lobe, 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 0GSH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85622318 Reposition right thyroid gland lobe, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source documents one inmate medical and pharmacy services contract (Muscogee County Prison), one pharmacy benefit management RFP (Collier County), one virtual primary and urgent care services opportunity (Monroe County), one peer support services contract (San Mateo County), and one fire department medical director contract (Santa Monica Fire Department). Of these five opportunities, only the Muscogee County and Collier County solicitations touch pharmacy services within their broader healthcare scope; the remainder—virtual urgent care, peer support, and medical director oversight—do not involve surgical procedures or thyroid repositioning. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, but the state and local opportunities tagged to it are health plan administration, medical staff services, and provider contracting rather than surgical procedure procurement.

State and local procurement does not systematically acquire individual surgical procedures through RFPs or open competition; instead, healthcare services are contracted through institutional medical plans, managed-care agreements, or employment of clinical staff. The recent opportunities reflect this pattern: Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate healthcare RFP (May 15, 2026 response due) encompasses intake screening, chronic care, emergency services, and pharmacy through a single contracted provider; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (April 9, 2026 deadline) addresses formulary and specialty drug management for employee health plans; and Monroe County's virtual primary care RFP (April 16, 2026 deadline) covers primary care delivery and urgent access, not surgical inventory. No opportunities explicitly procure thyroid or other surgical procedures as discrete line items. The code appears misaligned with the opportunities it has been assigned in recent state and local activity, and business development professionals should verify whether this code is being used correctly in procurement systems before committing resources to pursue work under it.
