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 0KB10ZZ

UNSPSC 85652369 Excision of facial muscle, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve facial muscle excision procedures. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a code designation that does not reflect the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited.

The three opportunities with the most direct healthcare purchase elements are the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with California, Arizona, and Washington showing recent RFP activity. Because the code's nominal scope—facial muscle excision—bears no relationship to the opportunities listed, business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before investing pursuit effort; the activity itself may be relevant to healthcare staffing or benefits administration vendors, but the UNSPSC taxonomy designation appears to be a tagging error rather than an accurate classification of the work.
