UNSPSC 85682506: Replacement of right ethmoid bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ethmoid bone with autologous 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 0NRF07Z

UNSPSC 85682506 Replacement of right ethmoid bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's surgical-procedure scope. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by issuing offices or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice.

The recent opportunities that carry this code designation span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, involving the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out network for PPO beneficiaries, RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, ITB due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP with April 2026 deadline); and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, RFP due October 7, 2026). Because the recent opportunities do not reflect the code's stated surgical scope, pursuit decisions should account for the risk that future opportunities may also be misclassified or that this code does not reliably signal state and local demand for the work it nominally describes.
