This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from skull, 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 0NP03JZ

UNSPSC 85682956 Removal of synthetic substitute from skull, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve skull procedures or percutaneous surgical interventions; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services. The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the opportunities or that this code is not a primary vehicle for state and local procurement of its intended service.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source directly solicit removal of synthetic skull substitutes or related neurosurgical services. The opportunities present a diverse issuing-body mix including county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal governments (Long Beach), but none align with the procedures this code nominally covers. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but this reflects the geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities rather than a signal of meaningful procurement demand for the code's stated commodity. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local pursuit pending clarification of whether opportunities are being tagged correctly.
