UNSPSC 85681027: Repair hyoid bone, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0NQXXZZ

UNSPSC 85681027 Repair hyoid bone, external approach is a Commodity code showing misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it are healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy provision, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve hyoid bone repair or surgical intervention.

The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or the tagging reflects a broader healthcare classification artifact. Recent solicitations span county health systems and corrections facilities across Florida and Georgia, including Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, RFP due April 9, 2026), Monroe County (virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 members, RFP due April 16, 2026), Santa Monica Fire Department (physician medical director, RFP due October 16, 2025), and San Mateo County Health (peer support for peer workers, RFP due July 2, 2025). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition, and business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before planning pursuit under this particular code.
