UNSPSC 85682512: Replacement of right sphenoid 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 sphenoid 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 0NRC07Z

UNSPSC 85682512 Replacement of right sphenoid bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code names a highly specific surgical procedure — replacement of the sphenoid bone using autologous tissue in an open surgical approach — yet recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code are predominantly administrative healthcare services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare procurement that does not align with the surgical intervention the code describes.

Recent opportunities under the code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington across city, county, and state health systems. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve orthopedic surgical procedures or bone replacement. Given the disconnect between code intent and procurement reality, this code warrants monitoring for clarification rather than pursuit at present.
