UNSPSC 85681913: Supplement hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0NUX4KZ

UNSPSC 85681913 Supplement hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — hyoid bone replacement using nonautologous tissue and percutaneous endoscopic technique — but the recent solicitations tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these opportunities involve hyoid bone procedures or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to general health services categories rather than the specific procedural supply or service it names.

State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code include county retirement systems (Phoenix), transit agencies (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county benefits consortia (Collier County), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach). The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the heterogeneous scope and misalignment with the code's stated definition indicate this is a taxonomy classification error rather than a concentration of meaningful procurement activity. Readers should verify coding with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this Commodity code.
