UNSPSC 85681445: Division of right mandible, 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 0N8T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681445 Division of right mandible, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the mandible, which falls outside the scope of goods and services that state and local governments procure through competitive solicitation. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect substantial misclassification: they span inmate medical and pharmacy services for county corrections, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic or oral-maxillofacial surgical procedures, and the code's clinical nomenclature bears no relationship to the actual purchasing activity tagged to it.

State and local procurement offices—including the Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department—are using this code to solicit healthcare administration, primary care, specialty pharmacy services, and medical staffing. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, and various county health systems. The code shows little relevant recent activity once the tagging error is acknowledged; agencies purchasing medical and healthcare services should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for those categories rather than rely on 85681445.
