UNSPSC 85472742: Supplement dura mater with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement dura mater with nonautologous 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 00U20KZ

UNSPSC 85472742 Supplement dura mater with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a surgical procedure involving spinal membrane reconstruction—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The six recent solicitations issued by Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve dura mater supplementation or tissue-substitute implantation procedures. The mismatch indicates that either the code has been misapplied across multiple jurisdictions or the code's definition in the state and local taxonomy differs materially from its clinical meaning. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit for individual surgical procedures under commodity codes; they solicit for medical services delivery, staffing, and benefits administration.

No relevant recent activity exists under this code for firms focused on surgical implant supply or perioperative dural repair services. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether UNSPSC 85472742 remains active and correctly assigned in their procurement systems before investing time in pursuit. If the code is intended for tissue-substitute products or surgical implant supply, the current posting activity does not support it.
