UNSPSC 85681163 Resection of right zygomatic bone, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure (removal of the right cheekbone through an open surgical approach) and reflects medical billing or clinical taxonomy rather than the goods and services that state and local purchasing offices acquire. The five recent state and local opportunities indexed to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—represent healthcare contracting and professional services procurement, not surgical procedures or their supplies. State and local governments do not solicit or contract for individual surgical procedures under procurement codes; they contract for healthcare delivery, management services, and staffing. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by the source systems.

No relevant recent procurement activity exists under this code for state and local business development purposes. The misalignment between the code's clinical definition and actual state and local contracting patterns suggests either a data-entry error in the source system or an incorrect cross-reference. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should focus on opportunity research through RFP and RFQ databases directly rather than relying on this code for market analysis.
