UNSPSC 85681303: Repair right mandible, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right mandible, open 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 0NQT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681303 Repair right mandible, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — open surgical repair of the right mandible (lower jawbone) — which is a clinical intervention typically performed in hospital operating rooms or surgical centers on individual patients. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not align with the code's nominal scope; instead, they reflect procurement of health services contracts including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health, and fire department emergency medical director services. These are administrative healthcare services and medical direction roles rather than surgical procedures.

State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures through public contracting mechanisms. The mismatch between the code and the actual work being bought suggests either a misclassification in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to tag relevant opportunities. Recent activity spans Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California), but none of these solicitations call for surgical repair services. If your firm provides surgical services, specialized medical procedures, or clinical staffing, this code warrants review for classification accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
