UNSPSC 85682520: Replacement of left temporal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left temporal 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 0NR60JZ

UNSPSC 85682520 Replacement of left temporal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical implant procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited under the code address healthcare services procurement broadly — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local buyers using this code are posting for comprehensive healthcare service delivery contracts rather than for orthopedic or cranial implant products or procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida and Georgia), a county health system (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department), indicating the code is being applied to health system procurement across multiple jurisdiction types.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with one opportunity in California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP posted April 15, 2026, proposals due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71 under existing vendor CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (RFP posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (RFP posted March 14, 2026, proposals due April 16, 2026, effective date October 1, 2026). The code mismatch suggests vendors should verify actual procurement intent with the issuing agency before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity code.
