This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement spinal meninges with synthetic 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 00UT0JZ

UNSPSC 85472744 Supplement spinal meninges with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services or medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services procurement, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve spinal surgery or implantable synthetic materials. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that either the opportunities have been miscoded in the source database or the code itself is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting rather than for discrete orthopedic or neurosurgical procedures. State and local health departments, county commissioners' offices, county detention facilities, and municipal fire departments are the issuing bodies represented, indicating that broader healthcare service procurement and staffing drives activity in this code space, not device or surgical supply procurement aligned with the code's formal definition.

The recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with posting dates ranging from February through April 2026. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71 under incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its defined orthopedic or neurosurgical commodity scope; procurement professionals should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
