UNSPSC 85683353: Drainage of right occipital bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0N974ZZ

UNSPSC 85683353 Drainage of right occipital bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — drainage of the right occipital bone using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique — but the recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve occipital bone drainage or any neurosurgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source records or a systematic misapplication of this code within participating procurement systems.

The geographic activity represented in the recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting diverse issuing bodies including city retirement systems, county commissioners, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments. Without valid recent opportunities under the stated code, no meaningful assessment of geographic concentration, vendor capacity, or procurement momentum can be drawn. State and local buyers appear to be using this code outside its intended scope.
