UNSPSC 85681315: Removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, 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 0NPW0MZ

UNSPSC 85681315, Removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, open approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source shows no recent solicitations for bone growth stimulator removal or related orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the code has been applied to a diverse set of health services procurements including occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee benefits, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, occupational medicine, benefits management, and clinical staffing—none of which involve surgical device removal or bone-level interventions. The mismatch suggests the code may have been misapplied by issuing bodies or that the taxonomy assignment does not reflect actual procurement activity.

Geographic activity is dispersed across multiple states: Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation authorities, and county probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no meaningful procurement activity in its stated medical device or procedural scope and warrants verification of correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
