UNSPSC 85682921: Replacement of left temporal 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 temporal 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 0NR637Z

UNSPSC 85682921 Replacement of left temporal bone with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged under it in state and local procurement databases span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care networks for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve temporal bone replacement or tissue substitutes. State and local governments procure medical services and health benefits administration through this code's designation, but the recent activity reflects administrative healthcare contracting, personnel health screening, and benefits management rather than the orthopedic or reconstructive surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments and health systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or that the code captures a broader family of health services administration rather than the specific procedure its name indicates.
