UNSPSC 85681143: Supplement right palatine bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right palatine bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0NUK0KZ

UNSPSC 85681143 Supplement right palatine bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no relationship to that scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement activity for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none involving bone supplementation or tissue substitutes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code has been repurposed to classify broader health services procurement that does not match its Commodity-level name.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across state health systems, county governments, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 covering 14 statewide ferry locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a five-year, $750,000 term; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with a historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award temporary health professional staffing vehicle due October 7, 2026. Activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent posting volume.
