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 0PB60ZZ

UNSPSC 85692042, Excision of left scapula, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this taxonomy entry by state and local governments. The recent opportunities posted under this code span pharmacy benefit management, inmate healthcare services, virtual primary care and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or scapular excision. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the healthcare administration, managed care, and clinical support services appearing in posted solicitations suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local purchasing offices are applying this code in practice. The issuing bodies span county health departments, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (Muscogee County, through Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), and California (San Mateo County), with no evidence that this code is being used for its stated orthopedic surgical purpose in any recent state or local procurement activity. Representative recent opportunities include an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), an RFP from Collier County Board of County Commissioners for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical spending of $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and an RFP from Monroe County, Florida for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for its stated commodity scope and flag the tagging inconsistency with the state and local procurement offices in these jurisdictions if pursuing opportunities in healthcare administration or managed care delivery.
