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 0WBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85761935 Excision of mediastinum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code solicit comprehensive healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county benefits program, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision procedures or operative clinical services.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), county commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison due May 15, 2026 (current monthly cost $95,537.71 under incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026, with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026. The code shows little substantive alignment with its nominal scope — a mismatch that signals either miscoding at the point of posting or a classification error in the taxonomy application process.
