UNSPSC 85681509: Revision of synthetic substitute in nasal bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in nasal 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 0NWB3JZ

UNSPSC 85681509 Revision of synthetic substitute in nasal bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal medical procedure scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader health and medical service procurement by state and local entities: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The work being solicited ranges from medical record review and physician examination coordination to network management and workforce staffing support, with issuing bodies including city pension boards, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with activity centered in mid to large-sized municipal and county health procurement offices.

Recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services including disability record summarization and physician examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry service locations with examinations required within 60 days of issuance; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting proposals for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out management for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that this commodity code is being used as a catch-all for health service procurement that spans multiple clinical and administrative domains.
