UNSPSC 85681631: Replacement of right palatine bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right palatine 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 0NRK3KZ

UNSPSC 85681631 (Replacement of right palatine bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic reconstruction and is not aligned with the medical and health-related services state and local governments are actually procuring under this taxonomy entry.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care-center networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve orthopedic bone replacement procedures or surgical implants. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) exemplify the mismatch: both solicit administrative and preventive medical services, not surgical reconstruction. State and local agencies using this code number appear to be tagging health services procurement without precision alignment to the orthopedic surgical commodity definition. Practitioners should verify actual scope requirements directly in RFP language rather than relying on the code assignment, as the taxonomy application appears inconsistent with the code's stated clinical focus.
