This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of bone growth stimulator into 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 0NHW3MZ

UNSPSC 85681718 Insertion of bone growth stimulator into facial bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The six most-recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative health services, occupational medicine, and benefits contracting rather than orthopedic or oral-maxillofacial surgical procedures. None of the solicitations reference bone growth stimulation, facial bone procedures, percutaneous surgical techniques, or related implantable medical devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this commodity code is dormant in state and local procurement. The opportunities span multiple jurisdictions—Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County)—but none involve procurement of the procedure or device the code nominally covers. Given the absence of relevant recent activity, firms evaluating this code should treat it as a watch item rather than an active pursuit opportunity unless a clearer signal of aligned state or local surgical procurement emerges.
