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 0KBN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85651211 Excision of right hip muscle, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment between this code's clinical scope and actual procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, hip procedures, or open surgical techniques. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously across diverse healthcare service categories that fall outside its intended scope.

Given the absence of relevant recent procurement activity under this code's actual clinical definition, no decision signal regarding market opportunity can be drawn. State and local buyers do procure healthcare services—medical direction, emergency care, pharmacy management, and behavioral health support—but not through this UNSPSC classification. Business development professionals should not pursue opportunities tagged to this code based on the assumption that the surgical procedure name describes the work being bought. The mismatch between code and solicitation content suggests either a data-quality issue in the source or systematic misclassification by issuing bodies.
