UNSPSC 85472844: Supplement spinal meninges with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement spinal meninges with synthetic 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 00UT3JZ

UNSPSC 85472844 Supplement spinal meninges with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a stated scope focused on surgical spinal-membrane procedures, but recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not reflect procurement of spinal implants or surgical supplies. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical procedure networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with spinal-meninges supplementation or implant procurement. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, city retirement and health plan offices, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. This code shows little relevant recent activity for the product line its name indicates.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities is concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach, Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (statewide through WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit applications, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual scope of posted opportunities suggests either persistent miscoding at the issuing bodies or a significant data quality issue within UNSPSC classification at the state and local level for this particular commodity identifier.
