UNSPSC 85472740: Supplement dura mater with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement dura mater with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 00U207Z

UNSPSC 85472740 Supplement dura mater with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the six most recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations concern neurosurgical procedures, dura mater supplementation, or autologous tissue grafts.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities suggests a data classification or tagging error rather than active state and local procurement demand for dural repair procedures. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify with individual issuing bodies whether they intend to solicit surgical implants or grafts; absent clarification, treat this code as inactive for practical state and local procurement purposes. The six opportunities that appear under this code span Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, but their relevance to the code's stated procedure is minimal to nonexistent.
