UNSPSC 85682623: Extirpation of matter from right sphenoid bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right sphenoid 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 0NCC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85682623 Extirpation of matter from right sphenoid bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical site, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this classification involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits coordination, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical intervention on the sphenoid bone or direct extirpation procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the taxonomy entry itself mischaracterizes state and local buying patterns under the eight-digit code.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings span state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources offices (Santa Clara County, Collier County), city retirement programs (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), and county detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast—Arizona, California (Long Beach and Collier County), Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing qualification pool RFP due October 7, 2026. Until the UNSPSC taxonomy is corrected or clarified at this code level, the code does not reliably signal relevant state and local procurement opportunity.
