UNSPSC 85683173: Reposition skull with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition skull with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0NS045Z

UNSPSC 85683173 Reposition skull with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical procedures or medical devices at that specificity level. Instead, the code shows activity in institutional healthcare procurement — jails, county employee health plans, virtual care platforms, behavioral health services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment; the code itself does not reliably signal surgical contracting activity in state and local markets. The opportunities posted under this code span procurement of managed healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support staffing, and part-time physician medical direction — none of which align with neurosurgical repositioning procedures.

Recent activity appears across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County through Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica Fire Department), with no jurisdictional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly spend of $95,537.71), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for twenty-four-month virtual primary and urgent care services effective October 1, 2026 (proposals due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS's RFP for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot project funded at $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a three-year fire department medical director contract (due October 16, 2025). Given the coding misalignment, tracking this code for surgical device or neurosurgical work is not recommended; monitor institutional healthcare service procurement directly through solicitation content rather than this code.
