UNSPSC 85683302: Insertion of internal fixation device into right ethmoid bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right ethmoid bone, 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 0NHF44Z

UNSPSC 85683302 — Insertion of internal fixation device into right ethmoid bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach — is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (placement of a bone fixation device via endoscopic approach) and does not align with the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under recent opportunities tagged to this code. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted against this code encompass inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer mental health support, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or internal fixation devices. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies.

The apparent miscoding across multiple issuing bodies — Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code to tag broader healthcare and medical services contracts rather than discrete surgical procedures. Absent evidence of actual procurement demand for the specific surgical intervention this code nominally describes, the code does not represent a viable business development opportunity for vendors providing orthopedic implants or surgical services.
