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 0NNC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85682565 Release right sphenoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual surgical or orthopedic work. Instead, the opportunities posted show healthcare management and administrative services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's anatomical specificity and the breadth of healthcare services actually being solicited suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying procurement systems or a systematic misapplication of this code to healthcare contracting opportunities that do not belong under it. No recent state or local opportunities reflect the surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida) and local health departments and fire services (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and Santa Monica Fire Department). Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026, $95,537.71 monthly baseline, two-year term with three one-year renewal options) and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annual historical pharmacy spend, three-year term with two optional one-year renewals). Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one California solicitation. Given the persistent misalignment between code definition and actual solicitations, pursuit of opportunities under this code should be informed by direct review of each RFP narrative rather than reliance on the UNSPSC taxonomy alone.
