This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left occipital 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 0NH844Z

UNSPSC 85683305 Insertion of internal fixation device into left occipital bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure — does not match the medical, health benefits, and staffing services actually being solicited under it by state and local bodies.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara). These solicitations span medical administration, health benefits procurement, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing — none of which align with surgical implant procurement or orthopedic device supply. The code appears to have been misapplied to a broad family of healthcare services rather than to the specific device insertion procedure its name describes. Firms pursuing state and local procurement in medical devices, orthopedic implants, or surgical supplies should verify that opportunities are tagged to relevant device or equipment codes before investing in pursuit.
