UNSPSC 85681363: Extirpation of matter from hyoid bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0NCX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681363 Extirpation of matter from hyoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—involve independent medical evaluation services for retirement systems, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern hyoid bone surgery or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal description. The code appears to reflect a data classification error or misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being solicited, with recent state and local contract opportunities addressing broad healthcare administration, benefit program management, and clinical staffing rather than otolaryngologic or maxillofacial surgical services.

Given the absence of hyoid bone extirpation or related surgical services in the recent opportunity stream, this code does not present a viable business development target in state and local procurement at this time. Vendors in surgical services, occupational health, employee benefits administration, or temporary clinical staffing may find opportunities under different UNSPSC codes more directly aligned with their scope.
