This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left temporal bone with internal fixation device, percutaneous 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 0NS634Z

UNSPSC 85682861 Reposition left temporal bone with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic or neurosurgical procurement. Instead, issuing bodies have tagged comprehensive healthcare services contracts to this code: inmate medical and pharmacy services for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The disconnect suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a significant mismatch between the code's intended use and current state and local practice.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types. The Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia posted an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), with current annual spend at $95,537.71 monthly; Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spend (due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida solicited virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members effective October 1, 2026; San Mateo County, California posted an RFP for Mental Health Services Act peer support services totaling $580,000 over three years; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a medical director position. Activity appears concentrated in Florida and California with representation from Georgia. Given the procedural nature of the code's title and the operational and administrative healthcare services actually being solicited, firms evaluating this code should verify that opportunities tagged to it genuinely align with their service offerings before pursuing.
