UNSPSC 85682734: Division of right temporal bone, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of 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 0N850ZZ

UNSPSC 85682734 Division of right temporal bone, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic or neurosurgical services. Instead, the five most recent opportunities posted under this code span correctional facility medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve temporal bone surgery or related procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed in a specific jurisdiction's taxonomy in a way that departs from the UNSPSC standard.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a consolidated city government's purchasing division (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida county boards of commissioners (Collier and Monroe), a California county health department, and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for Inmate Medical & Pharmacy Services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026, with current monthly cost at $95,537.71 under the expiring incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC contract), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026, with effective date October 1, 2026). Because the code itself does not reflect the work actually being procured, this category presents significant risk of response misdirection — vendors pursuing healthcare services contracts should verify code alignment independently rather than relying on the UNSPSC tag.
