UNSPSC 85682002: Replacement of hyoid bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of hyoid bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0NRX4JZ

UNSPSC 85682002 Replacement of hyoid bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the few state and local opportunities tagged with this Commodity are unrelated to hyoid bone replacement or surgical implant procedures. Recent solicitations under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span administrative healthcare services and workforce staffing rather than orthopedic or otolaryngological surgical devices or implant procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure using a synthetic substitute) and the healthcare and HR services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that the Commodity code is not capturing genuine implant or medical-device procurement at the state and local level. No recent state or local opportunities solicit hyoid bone replacements, surgical implants, or related prosthetic devices under this code. Business development professionals pursuing state and local government medical-device or surgical-implant procurement should verify the correct UNSPSC Family or Class code through direct inquiry with the issuing jurisdictions rather than relying on this Commodity classification.
