UNSPSC 85682914: Replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic 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 0NR83JZ

UNSPSC 85682914 Replacement of left occipital bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for cranial bone replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve occipital bone replacement or related orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify medical administration and health-benefit services more broadly than the code's nominal scope supports.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services—medical record review and disability exam coordination for public safety pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five one-year extensions; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered lives and $8.7 million in estimated annual pharmacy spending, with proposals due April 9, 2026 and a three-year term. The disconnect between the code's defined scope and the actual work being solicited renders the code unsuitable for targeting procurement opportunities in orthopedic implants or surgical implant distribution.
