This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left thorax muscle, 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 0KBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85651825 Excision of left thorax muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code instead solicit administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical excision. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to administrative healthcare services rather than operative procedures. State and local issuers posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, juvenile probation authorities, and county health benefits consortiums. The scope of work actually being procured comprises independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary staffing for clinical support roles such as radiology, surgical services, and therapy.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (statewide ferry system locations), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity; the opportunities listed appear to be tagged incorrectly and do not represent surgical procedure procurement suitable for vendors in the operative care supply chain.
