UNSPSC 85683307: Insertion of hearing device into left temporal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hearing device into left temporal 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 0NH64SZ

UNSPSC 85683307 Insertion of hearing device into left temporal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure for implanting hearing devices, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve hearing device implantation or otologic surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how the issuing bodies are tagging their procurements. No state or local government purchases identifiable under the hearing device insertion code itself appear in recent solicitation records.

Given this disconnect, the code merits a skip for business development professionals targeting state and local healthcare procurement. If your firm provides hearing device implantation services to correctional health consortia, hospital systems, or county health plans, track the underlying opportunities (particularly the Muscogee County inmate medical services RFP due May 15, 2026, and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP that closed April 9, 2026) through their actual UNSPSC classifications rather than through code 85683307. Consider flagging this classification issue with the purchasing offices directly — correct tagging will improve your ability to surface relevant procurements through future searches.
