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 0NT50ZZ

UNSPSC 85682456 Resection of right temporal bone, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical bone resection procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under the tag, and therefore offers limited signal for vendors evaluating surgical services or orthopedic-related procurement in the public sector.

The recent activity under this code appears concentrated in the health plan and correctional-healthcare service space, with issuing bodies spanning county human resources departments, corrections authorities, and county boards of commissioners in Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include the 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 covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). Given the severe disconnect between the code's stated content and the opportunities posted beneath it, firms pursuing state and local healthcare service contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC codes under which their target opportunities are tagged rather than relying on this code's nominal definition.
