This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in facial bone, percutaneous 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 0NWW3JZ

UNSPSC 85681503 Revision of synthetic substitute in facial bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its stated scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes surgical revision of synthetic facial bone implants via percutaneous techniques, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which match the implant-revision specialty described in the code name. State and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health and medical services that do not fit standard UNSPSC classifications, suggesting either misclassification in the source databases or deliberate consolidation under a surgical-services code. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach).

Geographic activity spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Arizona (Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara County temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy services), and Texas (Harris County youth detention medical services). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applicants (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026, with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). This code shows active procurement activity but displays poor fit between stated scope and actual buying patterns, warranting careful verification of code applicability before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
