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 0NNF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85682563 Release right ethmoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the sourced opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on human bone, but the five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code solicitate inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical intervention on skeletal anatomy. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of healthcare administration and service delivery actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding of healthcare opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices tag healthcare contracts.

The opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies including Muscogee County Prison through Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The work being solicited includes comprehensive inmate medical intake, chronic care, emergency services, and pharmacy management (due May 15, 2026); county-wide pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026); virtual and urgent care platforms for county employees, retirees, and dependents (due April 16, 2026); peer support services for mental health workers (due July 2, 2025); and EMS medical direction (due October 16, 2025). No recent opportunities under this code actually procure surgical services or bone-related medical devices. If your firm pursues healthcare contracting with state and local jurisdictions, the code's present tagging presents a material filtering and discovery challenge; the code should not be used to screen for relevant healthcare procurement activity.
