UNSPSC 85682915: Replacement of left occipital bone with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left occipital bone with autologous 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 0NR837Z

UNSPSC 85682915 Replacement of left occipital bone with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's medical taxonomy. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical record review and independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve occipital bone replacement or autologous tissue grafting. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation authorities (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County), and county human resources departments (Collier County). This represents typical state and local health-related procurement spanning employee benefits administration, occupational health compliance, specialty medical networks, and clinical staffing.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest (Arizona, California, Florida), Pacific Northwest (Washington), and Texas, reflecting the geographic distribution of the posted opportunities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP on September 16, 2026 (due October 16) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 starting February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFP on August 25, 2026 (due October 9) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with a two-year initial term and options to extend up to five additional one-year terms; the pre-bid conference was scheduled for August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP on August 26, 2026 (due October 7) for a surgical carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The fundamental disconnect between the code's anatomical specificity and the breadth of actual procurement activity suggests this code may be miscoded in state and local procurement systems or used inconsistently across jurisdictions; prospective vendors should not rely on this code alone to track relevant medical services opportunities in this sector.
