UNSPSC 85681657: Removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, percutaneous 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 0NPW3MZ

UNSPSC 85681657 Removal of bone growth stimulator from facial bone, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, but the most-recent opportunities block contains six solicitations tagged under this code that center on occupational and disability medical evaluations, specialty pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency services — none of which align with facial bone surgery or bone growth stimulator removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to administrative healthcare services procurement rather than surgical interventions.

The recent opportunities identified under this code reflect a fragmented issuing-body base spanning state health systems, county human resources divisions, county probation departments, city retirement offices, and regional transit authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — a geographic scatter with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum) for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures, bone implant removal, or the clinical scope the code nominally describes. Prospective vendors should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities listed under this category.
