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 0UB23ZZ

UNSPSC 85741516 Excision of bilateral ovaries, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the five most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve bilateral oophorectomy or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or misuse of this code as a catch-all for health care services outside surgical specialties.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health and human services departments, county correction facilities, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. Recent activity spans Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California), with response dates ranging from July 2025 through May 15, 2026. No vendor names, contract awards, or dollar values tied to this code appear in the record. Given the pronounced disconnect between the code's stated clinical content and the administrative health services, benefits management, and emergency medical direction work actually being purchased, bidders should verify code alignment directly with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification—the coding mismatch presents a material risk for scope confusion and proposal rejection.
