UNSPSC 85682616: Insertion of neurostimulator generator into skull, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of neurostimulator generator into skull, 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 0NH00NZ

UNSPSC 85682616 Insertion of neurostimulator generator into skull, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical implantation procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification are solicitations for healthcare administration services—inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve neurostimulator implantation or surgical procedures of any kind. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these healthcare contracting opportunities within neurosurgical taxonomy.

The geographic spread of opportunities includes Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government/Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), but the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope undermines the utility of this classification for vendor targeting. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members (RFP due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (RFP due April 16, 2026). Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify actual scope alignment during pre-bid review rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification to signal relevant work.
