UNSPSC 85683394: Destruction of skull, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of skull, 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 0N504ZZ

UNSPSC 85683394 Destruction of skull, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee benefits — none of which involve skull destruction procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or a systematic miscoding of health services procurement. State and local issuers are categorizing administrative and occupational health services, benefits administration, and temporary medical staffing under a surgical procedure code that bears no operational relationship to the actual work being solicited.

The geographic spread of activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), suggesting that the misclassification affects multiple state procurement systems. Representative recent opportunities include an RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), an RFP from the City of Long Beach for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management with an anticipated contract start of April 1, 2027, and an RFP from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026). This code shows substantial recent activity but carries no relevance to firms pursuing skull surgical procedures or endoscopic work.
