This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right temporal 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 0NH504Z

UNSPSC 85682611 — Insertion of internal fixation device into right temporal bone, open approach — is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic surgical devices or temporal bone procedures; the mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the actual work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or data alignment issues in the underlying opportunity records.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County through Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), with responses due between April 2026 and July 2025 across IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' procurement offices, county health and behavioral health departments, city fire departments, and consolidated city governments. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the opportunities posted, business development professionals should treat this code as currently showing little relevant recent activity and verify coding accuracy with the source procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
