UNSPSC 85473129: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from spinal cord, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from spinal cord, 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 00PV07Z

UNSPSC 85473129 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the code's stated scope. The posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency room care — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from the spinal cord. The mismatch suggests this code has received inaccurate or overly broad tagging in the state and local procurement system and does not reflect actual purchasing activity around the procedure the code nominally describes.

No recent state and local opportunities under this code actually solicit the medical procedure or service stated in the code name. The geographic spread across the recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but these jurisdictions are procuring general healthcare services administration, occupational health programs, and temporary staffing — activities unrelated to the specific spinal cord procedure. Business development professionals should treat this code as presently inactive for the actual medical service it nominally names and verify with issuing bodies whether these opportunities have been miscoded or whether procurement interest exists elsewhere.
