UNSPSC 85681746: Extirpation of matter from left palatine bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left palatine 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 0NCL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85681746, Extirpation of matter from left palatine bone, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent state and local activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure on the palatine bone, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical specificity. Instead, the sourced solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and youth detention emergency medical services — none of which involve palatine bone procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in the state and local procurement systems or misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how jurisdictions are actually using it in practice.

Across the six recent opportunities, issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026 for an Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan covering 3,800 active employees and retirees. None of these solicitations map to the code's stated procedure, indicating that vendors using this code for business development targeting state and local government should verify issuing-body classification before pursuing opportunities.
