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 0WP60JZ

UNSPSC 85764103 Removal of synthetic substitute from neck, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it concern occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management networks, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve removal of synthetic neck substitutes or match the procedural description.

The mismatch between the code's clinical intent and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local health systems classify medical services procurement. The issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — represent municipalities, counties, state transportation agencies, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but their solicitations target administrative, management, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures. Without substantive recent opportunities that actually seek removal of synthetic neck implants or related orthopedic/otolaryngologic procedures, this code shows no relevant activity for business development under its stated scope.
