UNSPSC 85682510: Replacement of right sphenoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right sphenoid 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 0NRC0KZ

UNSPSC 85682510 Replacement of right sphenoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving bone replacement, yet the six recent opportunities tagged with this code across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida procurement systems solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic or neurosurgical bone replacement procedures, reconstruction services, or implantable devices. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of medical services actually being procured under it suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification artifact.

The recent opportunities do reflect active demand for medical administration, benefits coordination, and clinical staffing across state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement boards, but these activities lie outside the sphenoid bone replacement code's intended taxonomy. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026) represent the issuing bodies. Because the tagged opportunities are orthogonal to the code's stated scope, this code should not be relied upon to identify genuine procurement opportunities in bone replacement or orthopedic implant services.
