UNSPSC 85683235: Replacement of right frontal bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right frontal bone with synthetic 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 0NR14JZ

UNSPSC 85683235 Replacement of right frontal bone with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for cranial bone replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits — none of which align with orthopedic or neurosurgical implant procurement. State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify health services, administrative functions, and benefits management under surgical procedure codes; this appears to be such a case.

The single solicitation that bears any procedural overlap — the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures — addresses benefit plan design and provider network management rather than device or implant procurement. Bidders should verify code assignment with issuing authorities before investing business development resources in this category.
