UNSPSC 85683237: Replacement of skull with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of skull 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 0NR04KZ

UNSPSC 85683237 Replacement of skull with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code carries a clinical-procedure classification, yet the six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it — spanning City of Phoenix retirement medical evaluations, City of Long Beach surgical benefit management, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance, Harris County Juvenile Probation emergency medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing — involve healthcare administration, occupational screening, benefits carve-outs, and clinical staffing rather than neurosurgical skull replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification artifact or category miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across these opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with solicitation types including RFP, RFI, and multiple-award qualification vehicles. Response dates cluster in September and October 2026. Without opportunities actually soliciting skull-replacement implants or related neurosurgical services, the code does not currently represent a meaningful procurement stream for state and local vendors focused on surgical supplies, implants, or related medical devices. Procurement professionals should verify category assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code, as the disconnect between nominal scope and recent buying activity suggests systematic miscoding rather than active demand.
