This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from nasal bone, 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 0NPB3JZ

UNSPSC 85681665 Removal of synthetic substitute from nasal bone, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure code and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged to it. The recent opportunities reflect a broad range of government healthcare administration and staffing services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—rather than the orthopedic nasal bone procedure the code nominally names. None of the six recent solicitations involve the specific procedure described in the code title. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), indicating the code has been applied across diverse public-sector healthcare procurement contexts without coherent relationship to the code's stated scope.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific regions, with recent opportunities posted from Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), across August through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed volume). The code shows little relevant recent activity and reflects a clear mismatch between its clinical procedure taxonomy designation and the administrative and staffing healthcare services actually being procured under it.
