UNSPSC 85681327: Release hyoid 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 0NNX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681327 Release hyoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—including inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and a fire department medical director contract—involve healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical oversight rather than surgical procedures or anatomical interventions. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical technique) does not align with the healthcare contracting, care coordination, and program management work actually appearing in state and local solicitations tagged with this code, suggesting a data classification mismatch rather than genuine commodity activity.

No recent state and local opportunities soliciting surgical instrumentation, surgical services, or hyoid bone procedures appear in the source material. The four recent RFPs posted by Muscogee County (Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department between February and April 2026 address healthcare service delivery, benefits administration, and administrative medical direction—none of which relate to the surgical procedure named in the code. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, but this reflects the broader healthcare contracting activity, not targeted procurement under this specific Commodity code. Before pursuing work under this code, verify with issuing procurement offices whether the tagging reflects genuine surgical procurement or administrative data error; activity in this code does not currently indicate meaningful state and local demand for the product or service its name describes.
