UNSPSC 85681606: Replacement of left mandible with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left mandible with autologous 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 0NRV37Z

UNSPSC 85681606 Replacement of left mandible with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little procurement activity aligned with surgical mandible reconstruction. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and inpatient emergency care for detained youth — none of which directly relate to mandibular reconstruction or autologous tissue grafting. This code appears to reflect a mismatch between the taxonomy classification and actual state and local buying activity, suggesting either miscoding of posted opportunities or minimal procurement volume for the specific surgical procedure the code describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city human resources department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County) — a mix spanning municipal, county, and state jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without opportunities genuinely soliciting mandibular reconstruction services or related prosthetic procurement, geographic concentration and market demand for this specific code cannot be assessed from the current data. Prospective vendors should verify whether state and local healthcare systems, orthopedic surgery centers, or Veterans Affairs medical facilities within their target markets actually post surgical implant or tissue-substitute procurement separately from general healthcare contracting vehicles, or whether mandible procedures are bundled within broader surgical services or hospital network agreements.
