UNSPSC 85681343: Insertion of internal fixation device into hyoid bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0NHX04Z

UNSPSC 85681343 Insertion of internal fixation device into hyoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a narrowly defined surgical procedure—open insertion of fixation hardware into the hyoid bone—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare service contracting for detention facilities, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. These solicitations span clinical care delivery, administrative services, and operational medical oversight; none involve orthopedic or otolaryngological surgical devices or procedures.

The geographic and issuing-body spread of recent opportunities reflects routine municipal and county health purchasing across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government on behalf of Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFP (No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, a 576-bed all-male facility with current monthly costs of $95,537.71; Collier County issued an RFP (25-8414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The code appears to reflect a misclassification at the source rather than an active procurement category for surgical fixation devices, and firms evaluating activity under this code should not rely on these healthcare services opportunities as representative of actual demand.
