UNSPSC 85682901: Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0NRG3KZ

UNSPSC 85682901 Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure involving cranial bone replacement, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code in state and local systems encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve ethmoid bone replacement or are orthopedic surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical and health services contracts within procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services rather than as a true procedure-specific commodity. The issuing bodies span state health systems, county human resources departments, county juvenile probation agencies, city retirement offices, transit authorities, and municipal health plans, reflecting the breadth of state and local health administration rather than surgical procurement specifically.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted RFP 25-8414 on August 20, 2026 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for a non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. A business development professional should treat this code as showing minimal recent procurement relevance to surgical implant or bone replacement services and verify the actual commodity or service classification of any specific opportunity before pursuit.
