UNSPSC 85681013: Reposition hyoid bone, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition hyoid bone, external 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 0NSXXZZ

UNSPSC 85681013 Reposition hyoid bone, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving manipulation of the hyoid bone through external surgical access, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve hyoid bone repositioning or related surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended scope and how it has been tagged in practice.

The five recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The opportunities posted between February and April 2026 include RFPs for inmate medical services (due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), mental health peer support services funded at $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025), and fire department medical direction services (due October 16, 2025). The concentration of activity in Florida and California, combined with the absence of any surgical or procedural work matching the code's name, indicates that UNSPSC 85681013 shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity description.
