UNSPSC 85681401: Excision of hyoid bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0NBX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681401 Excision of hyoid bone, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it are for healthcare administration, management, and services delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision or operative procedures.

The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is not actively used for routine state and local healthcare contracting in the jurisdictions posting these solicitations. The issuing bodies spanning these opportunities include county correctional systems (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefits offices (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, and California. If pursuing this code, verify current tagging practices with issuing procurement offices before investing in proposal development.
