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 0NB23ZZ

UNSPSC 85683041 Excision of left frontal bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted against this code are surgical procedure codes that bear no meaningful relationship to the procurement activity that state and local bodies are conducting. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county health consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county employee population, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical director services for a municipal fire department—none of which involve the frontal bone surgical procedure named in the code itself.

State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all miscategorization for healthcare services and medical professional contracting rather than as a descriptor of actual surgical procedures being purchased. The issuing bodies span county commissioners' offices (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida and Georgia), county health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), with solicitation types ranging from RFPs for comprehensive service delivery to specialized professional services. Because the code does not accurately represent the work being transacted, this category shows little signal value for vendors targeting genuine surgical services procurement or medical device supply. Prospective vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this entry.
