This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in skull, external 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 0NW0X4Z

UNSPSC 85682307 Revision of internal fixation device in skull, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical implants for cranial reconstruction, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code concern occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve skull fixation devices or surgical implantation. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging anomaly in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or that the code is being used broadly as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit the device-specific scope the code name implies.

The issuing bodies across the few opportunities posted include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (County of Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), city benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match what is actually being solicited, pursue this code only if your firm performs occupational health, benefits administration, or clinical staffing services rather than medical device implantation.
