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 0WB80ZZ

UNSPSC 85761936 Excision of chest wall, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under this classification are healthcare administration and service delivery contracts entirely unrelated to surgical intervention—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health-related services rather than as a procedure-specific taxonomy marker, creating a significant mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies are distributed across county and municipal health authorities and correctional systems, with no single repeat buyer emerging in recent postings. Geographic activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, Monroe County virtual primary care), California (San Mateo County behavioral health peer support), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction). No standout pattern of state-level procurement emerges from the sample. The recent opportunities span RFPs issued between February and April 2026, with response dates ranging from April 2026 through July 2026 and contract values where disclosed ranging from $580,000 (San Mateo County peer support pilot) to approximately $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy services historical spend). The fundamental signal here is that this code's nominal definition does not reflect procurement reality—vendors pursuing healthcare service delivery through state and local channels should not rely on this code classification to surface relevant opportunities and should instead monitor issuing bodies' procurement portals directly.
