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 0WBKXZZ

UNSPSC 85762834 Excision of upper back, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve excision procedures or upper back surgery; rather, they represent comprehensive healthcare delivery, pharmacy administration, mental health support, and medical direction services. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being procured suggests either a classification error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local purchasing offices are using this particular code.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across different states and service domains. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) posted an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison due May 15, 2026, Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a response date of April 9, 2026, Monroe County (Florida) solicited virtual primary and urgent care services with proposals due April 16, 2026, San Mateo County (California) sought peer support services for behavioral health workers with a July 2, 2025 deadline, and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) sought a fire department medical director through an RFP with an October 16, 2025 due date. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Given that the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the actual procurement activity, pursuit under this code classification is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body about why clinical procedure codes are being applied to operational healthcare and pharmacy administration contracts.
