This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of skull 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 0NR007Z

UNSPSC 85682539 Replacement of skull with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with surgical skull replacement work. The code shows little relevant recent activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve skull reconstruction or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error at the source or use of this code as a catch-all for health service procurement where more precise commodity codes may be unavailable in the jurisdiction's procurement system.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and independent school district health systems across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) all posted opportunities between July and September 2026. The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. None of the recent opportunities represent procurement in the surgical-device or tissue-substitute category that the UNSPSC code describes.
