UNSPSC 85682535: Replacement of right frontal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right frontal 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 0NR10JZ

UNSPSC 85682535 Replacement of right frontal bone with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity aligned with this code's clinical scope. The available opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for public-sector employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve cranial bone replacement or orthopedic implant procurement. The issuing bodies span a mix of state health agencies, county health systems and departments, cities, and regional transit authorities, but the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that this code sees minimal relevant purchasing activity.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension boards; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, and oncology procedures for city employee health plans; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations involve implantable cranial devices or the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The geographic spread and issuing-body variety suggest that this code does not accurately reflect current state and local procurement demand.
