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 0W340ZZ

UNSPSC 85764246 Control bleeding in upper jaw, open approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope—which specifies a surgical dental procedure—and instead reflect a broader procurement pattern around healthcare services delivery. The actual work being solicited includes inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local healthcare and correctional administrators are using this code to acquire comprehensive clinical and administrative services—from prison medical intake and chronic care management to PBM claims processing and virtual telemedicine platforms—rather than the specific maxillofacial bleeding-control procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span county correctional facilities (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia), county HR and health benefits administration (Collier County, Florida), county employee health programs (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health systems (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). This broad application of a surgical-procedure code to healthcare program procurement suggests either systematic miscoding or repurposing of the taxonomy for administrative convenience within these jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison RFP (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services under an annual contract with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71 and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026) managing approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, and California. The issuing bodies are county-level agencies and municipalities; no state departments or transit authorities appear in the recent block. Because the code designation does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under it, pursuit decisions should rest on the specific healthcare service opportunity's merit and location rather than on UNSPSC alignment.
