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 0YBF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85782304 Excision of right knee region, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it procure occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, pharmaceutical benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out networks—none involving direct surgical excision. State and local governments do not purchase surgical procedures as commodities through procurement channels; they contract for medical services delivery, benefit administration, and staffing support instead. The code-opportunity mismatch suggests a tagging error in the source data rather than active procurement under this Commodity.

The underlying medical-services opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) is requesting information on specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve the direct surgical service named in the code. The mismatch between the Commodity code and the actual work being solicited indicates limited relevance of this code for business development purposes in the state and local market.
