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 0NQ63ZZ

UNSPSC 85682946 Repair left temporal bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it involve health plan administration, inmate medical services, virtual primary care, peer support coordination, and fire department medical direction — none of which relate to bone repair or percutaneous surgical intervention. The opportunities reflect comprehensive healthcare contracting and delivery of preventive and urgent care services, not surgical or orthopedic repair work.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies, including county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, and Muscogee County in Georgia), special-purpose health agencies (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County) and California (San Mateo County), with additional activity in Georgia (Muscogee County). Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code does not appear to reflect the work actually being bought under it, suggesting either a data classification error or a substantial divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these state and local procurement offices tag their healthcare service solicitations.
