UNSPSC 85683231: Replacement of left frontal 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 frontal 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 0NR24KZ

UNSPSC 85683231 Replacement of left frontal bone with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical implant procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code in August and September 2026 cover medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health examinations, independent disability medical evaluations, surgery benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve frontal bone replacement or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the code's medical nomenclature and how purchasing offices classify health services procurement.

The sourced opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states with no coherent relationship to orthopedic or neurosurgical implant procurement: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, October 16, 2026 RFP), the City of Long Beach (surgery benefit carve-out management, October 7, 2026 RFP), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, October 9, 2026 ITB), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty emergency services, September 25, 2026 RFI), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, April 9, 2026 RFP), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, October 7, 2026 RFP). The code shows no relevant recent activity for orthopedic implant supply, surgical device procurement, or bone substitute manufacturing. Firms pursuing surgical implant or orthopedic device contracts should verify their target UNSPSC codes against actual procurement scope before relying on this category.
