UNSPSC 85682400: Flat bones skull, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the flat bones of the skull with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0N.

UNSPSC 85682400 Flat bones skull, open approach-part A is a Class code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the skull, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical procedures or skull operations. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being solicited indicates this code captures healthcare administration and occupational health services through misclassification or broad tagging practices rather than representing genuine procurement activity in the code's intended domain.

The issuing bodies span county governments, municipal fire departments, and county health departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. Recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health's RFP for peer support services under the Mental Health Services Act (due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The geographic spread centers on Florida and California with a Georgia presence, though the underlying work—healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical direction—bears no operational relationship to the code's nominal surgical classification. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for meaningful procurement purposes under its stated taxonomy scope.
