UNSPSC 85683011: Insertion of internal fixation device into right temporal 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 temporal 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 0NH534Z

UNSPSC 85683011 Insertion of internal fixation device into right temporal bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical-procedure scope. The five state and local contract opportunities posted between February and April 2026 under this code do not involve surgical procedures, implantable devices, or orthopedic/neurosurgical services; instead, they document procurements for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual solicitations suggests the code is either misapplied by the issuing jurisdictions or used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for healthcare contracting that does not correspond to the surgical intervention the code describes.

State and local procurement activity under this code—to the extent the opportunities reflect actual buying intent rather than cataloging error—originates from a mixed issuing-body population including county health systems (Collier County Board of Commissioners, Monroe County Board of Commissioners), county correctional facilities (Columbus Consolidated Government on behalf of Muscogee County Prison), and county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Health). Geographic concentration appears limited to Florida (Collier, Monroe) and California (San Mateo), with one Georgia opportunity (Muscogee County). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP due April 9, 2026, historical annual pharmacy spending $8.7 million), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (proposals due April 16, 2026). The code does not reflect established surgical procurement demand; pursuit should be treated as exploratory pending clarification from issuing jurisdictions on whether the code assignment reflects genuine device procurement or administrative miscategorization.
