UNSPSC 85764555: Alteration of lower jaw with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower jaw with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0W053KZ

UNSPSC 85764555 Alteration of lower jaw with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains six recent opportunities, none of which involve jaw reconstruction or surgical implants; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent examinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and specialty medical services contracting. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure with orthopedic tissue substitution — does not align with the goods or services state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying solicitation records or a coding artifact that does not reflect genuine procurement demand for jaw reconstruction services in the state and local market.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical examinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for PPO plans), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). No issuing body appears twice in the block. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the actual scope of recent opportunities — which center on medical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical implants — this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic or maxillofacial surgery product or service lines.
