UNSPSC 85681007 Revision of bone growth stimulator in nasal bone, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six posted opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State ferries workers, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants in Phoenix, specialty surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement. None of these solicitations involve bone growth stimulators, nasal bone procedures, or revision surgery — the work is administrative health services, occupational health screening, benefits management, and workforce staffing. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities; they fall under health services administration and staffing rather than orthopedic devices or surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual recent postings makes this code a poor fit for vendors pursuing orthopedic device or bone growth stimulation contracts under state and local procurement. Jurisdictions issuing under this code tag include Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries), the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). If the code were applied correctly to bone growth stimulation work, the geographic and issuing-body mix would support tracking; however, no such opportunities appear in the recent record.
