UNSPSC 85573531: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, 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 0BPT37Z

UNSPSC 85573531 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no work actually aligned with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead span occupational and disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention facility medical services, and ferry worker medical surveillance—none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from the diaphragm. The mismatch indicates either a data-classification error or misalignment between UNSPSC tagging in state and local procurement systems and the code's nominal clinical definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities are geographically dispersed municipal and county agencies with health-system or benefits-administration functions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (WSDOT, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP through the Fire and Police Pension Boards (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefit RFP for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multi-category temporary health professional staffing RFQ (due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of alignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code presents minimal relevance for vendors focused on surgical tissue removal or diaphragm-related procedures.
