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 0W060ZZ

UNSPSC 85764250 Alteration of neck, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it are healthcare administrative and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve surgical neck alterations or operative procedures of any kind. The issuing bodies include county consolidated governments (Columbus, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Santa Mateo County, California), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), and county health and behavioral health departments. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clear concentration in any single state.

The recent opportunities indicate that this code may have been misapplied as a catch-all for healthcare service contracting rather than reserved for its intended surgical commodity scope. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026), 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 does not reflect active procurement of the surgical service its title describes. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity classification with the issuing procurement office before pursuing opportunities, as the current tagging suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a default category for health services contracts outside its intended scope.
