UNSPSC 85681235: Replacement of hyoid bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of hyoid bone with autologous 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 0NRX07Z

UNSPSC 85681235 Replacement of hyoid bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve hyoid bone replacement or surgical tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied in source records or represents legacy taxonomy that does not reflect current procurement patterns in state and local government.

The issuing bodies captured in recent opportunities span diverse jurisdiction types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears concentrated in western and southwestern jurisdictions (Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, Texas), with no discernible pattern that connects to the hyoid-bone code's nominal scope. The actual work being solicited—medical record summarization for disability determinations (Phoenix, due October 16, 2026, RFP), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out management (Long Beach, due October 7, 2026, RFP), occupational surveillance exams for ferry workers (Washington, due October 9, 2026, RFP), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County, due September 25, 2026, RFI), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County, historical spend $8.7 million annually), and temporary clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara, due October 7, 2026)—reveals that code 85681235 bears no functional relationship to the procurement activity recorded under it. Vendors pursuing this code should verify the actual procurement classification before committing resources.
