UNSPSC 85681605: Replacement of left mandible with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left mandible with synthetic 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 0NRV3JZ

UNSPSC 85681605 Replacement of left mandible with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—mandibular reconstruction—yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code procure occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit networks through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services or products involve mandibular implants or reconstruction surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a classification error in how opportunities have been tagged or a significant divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local procurement practice in this category.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state transportation departments, county health systems, county retirement boards, county commissioners' offices, and city procurement divisions—a typical cross-section of state and local government. Recent activity appears in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026 and response dates clustering in early to mid-October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years). Given the absence of mandible-replacement-related procurement in the recent record, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing surgical implant or reconstruction services.
