UNSPSC 85681611: Replacement of left maxilla with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left maxilla 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 0NRS3JZ

UNSPSC 85681611 Replacement of left maxilla with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code names a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to it do not involve maxillary reconstruction or synthetic implants. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of maxillary prosthetic replacement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data alignment error in how the opportunities were tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without opportunities that actually describe state and local procurement of maxillary implants or related surgical supplies, pursue decisions under this code should be deferred pending clarification of the tagging error or evidence of legitimate demand for the procedure or device itself in state and local health-plan or public-health contexts.
