UNSPSC 85682449: Resection of left ethmoid bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left ethmoid bone, open 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 0NTG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85682449 Resection of left ethmoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The code's nominal title refers to a specific surgical procedure (ethmoidectomy), but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code procure inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical bone resection. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a data quality issue rather than genuine purchasing activity under this Commodity code.

The source provides no evidence of state and local governments actually buying ethmoid bone resection services or comparable surgical procedures under UNSPSC 85682449. The opportunities that appear in the recent-contract block span Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government and Muscogee County Prison), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department), but none involve surgical services matching the code's title. Without recent opportunities demonstrating actual procurement of the commodity this code nominates, pursuing vendors under UNSPSC 85682449 would require direct outreach to state and local health systems and surgical centers rather than response to posted solicitations.
