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 0N5T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85681459 Destruction of right mandible, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local government procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code involve unrelated health services: independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve mandibular surgical destruction or any related oral and maxillofacial procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured suggests the code is not an active vehicle for state and local government purchasing in the current market.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but none reflect demand for oral and maxillofacial surgical services at the commodity level. Vendors pursuing state and local government work under this code should verify current tagging practices and confirm that opportunity sources are correctly classifying health services solicitations before committing bid resources.
