This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from facial bone, 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 0NPW0KZ

UNSPSC 85681316, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from facial bone, open approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's technical clinical descriptor does not match the scope of recent opportunities posted under this classification. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and examination coordination, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical removal of tissue substitutes. State and local buyers using this code appear to include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and counties managing employee health benefits. The issuing bodies span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears to capture state and local opportunities related to medical services broadly rather than the specific surgical procedure its title names, suggesting either a classification mismatch in how issuers are tagging opportunities or a divergence between the code's nominal scope and its practical use in procurement.
