This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from skull, 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 0NP04JZ

UNSPSC 85683256 "Removal of synthetic substitute from skull, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this designation span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which align with the code's stated scope of cranial implant removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended purpose.

The opportunities that do appear reflect broader health and benefits administration across multiple issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out administration for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara Health System qualified vendors for temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code does not demonstrate consistent or substantial state and local procurement volume in its nominal domain.
