UNSPSC 85681735: Insertion of bone growth stimulator into nasal bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of bone growth stimulator into nasal 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 0NHB3MZ

UNSPSC 85681735, Insertion of bone growth stimulator into nasal bone, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous nasal bone bone-growth-stimulator insertion — yet the six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not procure that service or related orthopedic surgical interventions. Instead, the recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The only solicitation with any procedural-surgery scope is the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-outs covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, but that addresses high-volume bundled surgery management rather than a specific nasal-bone procedure. None of the opportunities explicitly request bone-growth-stimulator services or percutaneous nasal surgery.

The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), county boards (Harris County, Collier County), and state departments. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026). The code taxonomy mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing offices or that this Commodity code is not the operative classification for state and local healthcare service procurement in current practice.
