UNSPSC 85753146: Excision of bilateral epididymis, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of bilateral epididymis, 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 0VBL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85753146 Excision of bilateral epididymis, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with that scope. The opportunities in the block cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California) and municipal departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), reflecting a mix of county health administration and municipal public safety agencies. This code shows no recent relevant activity for the stated surgical service and appears to be a misclassification of these opportunities into a surgical taxonomy code that does not match the work being procured.

The recent opportunities are geographically scattered across Florida, Georgia, and California, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) seeking comprehensive inmate healthcare for approximately 576 offenders with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for approximately 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual work being procured suggests this code should not be considered a reliable source for surgical services procurement opportunity tracking.
