UNSPSC 85681272: Replacement of nasal bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasal 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 0NRB0KZ

UNSPSC 85681272 Replacement of nasal bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving nasal bone replacement—and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing placement. None of these solicitations involve nasal bone replacement surgery or relate directly to that procedure. The code appears to be a taxonomic error or a catch-all miscoding by issuing bodies, and does not reflect genuine procurement activity in orthopedic or otolaryngologic surgery.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal departments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, with historical spend of approximately $8.7 million annually). Because the code shows no genuine activity aligned with nasal bone replacement procedures, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its nominal scope and verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
