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 0VBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85753148 Excision of right epididymis, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little or no alignment with the code's clinical definition. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services contracts, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary care and urgent care platform services, peer support worker training and mental health services, and fire department medical director oversight—none of which involve epididymectomy or related surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to have misaligned this code to healthcare delivery and management contracts rather than surgical interventions, suggesting either a data-entry error or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these particular jurisdictions have classified their healthcare solicitations.

The issuing bodies spanning the recent opportunities include county commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County, Florida), a city consolidated government finance department (Columbus, Georgia), and a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), with notice types including RFPs due between July 2, 2025 and May 15, 2026. The geographic spread encompasses Georgia, Florida, and California. Without recent solicitations that actually seek epididymectomy services or related surgical procedures under this code, the code shows no actionable market signal for firms pursuing state and local surgical services contracts.
