UNSPSC 85681273: Replacement of nasal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of nasal bone with synthetic 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 0NRB0JZ

UNSPSC 85681273 Replacement of nasal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical procedures, medical devices, or orthopedic implants. Instead, the code has been applied to six unrelated solicitations spanning occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve nasal bone replacement or synthetic substitutes. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic misapplication of the UNSPSC code by issuing bodies.

The opportunities themselves are geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), and span state departments, county procurement offices, city departments, and county health systems. Response dates range from September 2026 through October 2026. Because none of these solicitations actually purchase products or services within the nominal scope of the code—medical device procurement, surgical supplies, or healthcare product contracting—the code shows no decision-relevant activity for vendors in the orthopedic medical device, implant, or surgical supply categories.
