UNSPSC 85681601: Replacement of hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0NRX3KZ

UNSPSC 85681601 Replacement of hyoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures or hyoid bone replacement. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners sourcing medical services, health administration, and clinical staffing across multiple categories. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests either data quality issues in the sourcing system or misapplication of this code to healthcare management and occupational health services that fall outside surgical implant procurement.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals (HR26753) due October 7, 2026 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award pool (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) with a deadline of April 9, 2026 based on approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending.
