This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0NPW0JZ

UNSPSC 85681317 Removal of synthetic substitute from facial bone, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the work appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with facial bone surgical reconstruction or implant removal. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in source notices or a code assignment error rather than genuine market activity in the procedure category itself.

The recent opportunities that carry this code do reflect broader state and local healthcare administration and employee benefit management activity across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) sought surgical benefit carve-out proposals due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services with an April 2026 deadline; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) established a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. No meaningful procurement signal exists for the code's stated scope, and business development activity should focus elsewhere unless source miscoding is subsequently corrected.
