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

UNSPSC 85473229 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical and health professional services broadly—occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency youth detention healthcare—but none directly procure the spinal cord tissue removal procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to be buying autologous tissue substitutes or spinal procedures themselves; instead, they are contracting for medical administration, evaluation coordination, and benefit management services that may eventually route to clinical providers, including spine specialists, as part of broader employee and retiree healthcare programs.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county human resources and procurement offices (Collier County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications across public safety pensions at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures to 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code shows limited direct procurement relevance to business lines focused on implantable medical devices or surgical procedure delivery.
