UNSPSC 85682501: Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0NRG0KZ

UNSPSC 85682501 Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful connection to surgical bone replacement. Instead, the opportunities represent a broad range of medical and health services procurement: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are predominantly local government—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and Collier County—alongside one state agency, the Washington State Department of Transportation. These jurisdictions are procuring administrative healthcare services, staff augmentation, and third-party vendor arrangements rather than the clinical procedure the code nominally identifies.

The geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million). This code shows significant activity-to-scope mismatch; the tagline does not reflect what state and local buyers are actually procuring under it, making the code unreliable as a targeting filter for medical device or orthopedic surgical suppliers.
