UNSPSC 85683319: Extirpation of matter from right ethmoid bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0NCF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85683319 Extirpation of matter from right ethmoid bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the ethmoid bone, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none involving ethmoid bone surgery or endoscopic procedures. The issuing bodies span county retirement offices, municipal health authorities, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation systems, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement vehicle for the advertised work.

The recent opportunities show no pattern of genuine ethmoid bone or endoscopic procedure procurement by state and local agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). The remaining opportunities concern pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. No issuing body in the source material is actively soliciting the surgical or anatomical service the code nominally describes. Firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should treat it as inactive and verify coding against actual scope of work before submission.
