UNSPSC 85682514: Replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic 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 0NR80JZ

UNSPSC 85682514 Replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single concrete opportunity posted under this code — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for Independent Medical Evaluation Services (due October 16, 2026) — concerns disability benefits administration and pension medical records review for public safety personnel, not orthopedic or neurosurgical implants or procedures. The remaining opportunities in the recent activity block address pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to bone replacement implants or surgical placement of synthetic bone substitutes.

The geographic and issuing-body spread evident in the recent opportunities reflects general healthcare procurement activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions (Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington), but this activity does not map to the code's intended commodity classification. State and local procurement offices do acquire medical devices and implants, but this code's recent posting history does not reflect that market. Any firm evaluating this code should verify current activity through direct outreach to state health departments, hospital systems, and procurement offices in target geographies, as the UNSPSC taxonomy may not be capturing relevant opportunities under this particular code designation.
