UNSPSC 85683328: Extirpation of matter from left frontal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left frontal 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 0NC24ZZ

UNSPSC 85683328 Extirpation of matter from left frontal bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's literal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not match the medical services and staffing work currently being solicited by state and local agencies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations. None of these activities involve extirpation of frontal bone matter or endoscopic approaches; the tagging appears to reflect a categorical mismatch between the code's nominal scope and how agencies are actually using it in procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response due October 9, 2026, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with a response due October 7, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing with a response due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no meaningful concentration—activity is fragmented across unrelated healthcare service categories, suggesting the code itself may require review for accuracy or that agencies are applying it inconsistently to healthcare and medical administration work that falls outside its nominal procedural definition.
