UNSPSC 85781249: Excision of left inguinal region, open approach

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 0YB60ZZ

UNSPSC 85781249 Excision of left inguinal region, open approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with state and local government procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the medical and health services being solicited under this tag in recent state and local opportunities. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these represent direct procurement of the surgical procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in state or local procurement systems or an overly broad code application by issuing bodies. The issuing jurisdictions span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. Given the structural mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85781249.
