UNSPSC 85682939: Replacement of skull with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of skull 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 0NR037Z

UNSPSC 85682939 Replacement of skull with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical specification. Instead, the opportunities solicited comprise occupational health surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and related healthcare administration — none of which involve skull replacement or tissue reconstruction. The code appears to have been applied to procurement records without regard to the procedure-specific clinical taxonomy it nominally describes, signaling either a classification error in state and local procurement systems or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions categorize healthcare services contracting.

Recent solicitations originate from county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county government employee benefits operations (Collier County), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and physician examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension benefit applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) providing baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties. The code shows no decision-relevant activity in skull replacement or tissue reconstruction procurement.
