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 0WQC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85761838 Repair mediastinum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for thoracic repair; however, the five most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve mediastinal surgery or surgical repair. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to health services procurement at the state and local level, or the opportunities reflect administrative or operational health services rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span county government, county boards of commissioners, and a county fire department — Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (response date May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (response date April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (response date April 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity when understood as surgical repair — the opportunities reflect administrative health services contracting, which suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that the code itself is not the appropriate match for these solicitations.
