UNSPSC 85683118: Supplement right sphenoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right sphenoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0NUC4KZ

UNSPSC 85683118 Supplement right sphenoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving bone augmentation of the sphenoid bone—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code has been repurposed for broader healthcare administration and staffing categories. State and local buyers issuing under this code do not appear to be procuring surgical implants or bone-supplement devices. The issuing bodies in the recent sample span city pension boards (Phoenix), large municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections authorities (Harris County), and county procurement offices managing employee health benefits (Collier County). Unless procurement activity materially changes or the code tagging is corrected, pursuit under this code is not recommended.
