UNSPSC 85682524: Replacement of right temporal 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 temporal 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 0NR507Z

UNSPSC 85682524 Replacement of right temporal bone with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical implants or bone-replacement materials. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity: the five posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with orthopedic bone-replacement supplies or implants. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity is not actively solicited through state and local procurement channels at present.

The opportunities present instead reflect broader healthcare administrative and staffing services across state departments, counties, and municipal health systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No clear geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from these misaligned records, and no solicitation addresses the surgical implant or bone-replacement material scope that the code name suggests. A business development professional evaluating this code should seek clarification on actual procurement patterns before committing resources to pursuit under this Commodity classification.
