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 0HBV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85632021 Excision of bilateral breast, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with actual procurement patterns. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it represent healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, mental health peer support, and emergency medical services oversight — none of which involve surgical excision. Muscogee County Prison's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services, posted April 15, 2026 with a May 15 due date, and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, posted April 9, 2026, represent comprehensive healthcare contracting but involve claims processing, formulary management, and utilization review rather than surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments and special-purpose districts pursuing healthcare administration contracts, but the code itself shows little relevant procurement activity.

State and local governments are procuring healthcare services through scattered jurisdictions including Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California), but the opportunities do not reflect the code's stated scope. Monroe County's virtual primary care RFP, due April 16, 2026, and San Mateo County's peer support services solicitation, due July 2, 2025, represent the breadth of health-related spending under this code designation, yet none address surgical services or bilateral breast procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the work actually being bought suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is largely inactive for surgical procurement. Firms pursuing surgical or invasive-procedure contracting should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification rather than rely on this code.
