This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0NPW00Z

UNSPSC 85681320 Removal of drainage device from facial bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—extraction of a drainage apparatus from facial skeletal structures via open surgical technique—yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not address facial bone drainage device removal or related surgical services. Instead, posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which match the code's stated scope. This misalignment suggests either incorrect code assignment by issuing bodies or minimal actual procurement activity under this Commodity code for its intended purpose.

State and local buyers posting under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (for occupational health examinations across ferry system locations), the City of Phoenix (disability benefit medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical centers of excellence), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being solicited, this code presents limited relevance for vendors offering facial bone surgical drainage removal or related head and neck surgical services.
