UNSPSC 85683007: Insertion of internal fixation device into right occipital bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right occipital bone, 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 0NH734Z

UNSPSC 85683007, Insertion of internal fixation device into right occipital bone, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with its nominal medical-device scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record summarization, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or cranial bone procedures. The code appears to have been assigned to these solicitations in error; the actual work being solicited involves health plan administration, medical record review, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing rather than surgical implants or procedural services.

Issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and cities (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured, the code should not be treated as a reliable signal for business development targeting in orthopedic implants or bone fixation devices within state and local government.
