UNSPSC 85683201: Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ethmoid 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 0NRG4KZ

UNSPSC 85683201 Replacement of left ethmoid bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical code designation and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving bone replacement via endoscopic approach; however, the recent solicitations are procuring medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, disability evaluations, and temporary health professional placement services. None of these services involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies reflect a broad mix of state departments, counties, cities, and health systems—including the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System.

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers with proposals due October 9, 2026 (IFB), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026. The Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP, due April 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing qualification solicitation, due October 7, 2026, represent additional recent activity. The code's current tagging appears to reflect data quality or classification issues rather than genuine procurement activity for bone replacement procedures; firms should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities.
