UNSPSC 85682516: Replacement of right occipital 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 occipital 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 0NR70KZ

UNSPSC 85682516 Replacement of right occipital bone with nonautologous 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 surgical procedure involving cranial bone replacement, but the six recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care networks for city employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated scope of surgical cranial reconstruction. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or that this Commodity code has been repurposed in practice to capture medical and health services procurement more broadly.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two city health or human resources departments (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County). Activity is concentrated in California and the Southwest, with opportunities in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington posted between mid-July and late September 2026. None of the recent solicitations actually procure surgical implants or bone-replacement devices; instead, they solicit managed services around medical examinations, administrative support for benefit determinations, and health professional staffing or network management. Unless your firm offers surgical implants or bone-reconstruction devices, this code does not currently signal procurement intent from state and local buyers.
