This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of back subcutaneous tissue and fascia 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 0JR70JZ

UNSPSC 85641145 Replacement of back subcutaneous tissue and fascia with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits for surgical procedures, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than implantable surgical devices or surgical supplies. These opportunities are fundamentally misclassified and do not reflect the product or service scope the code nominally covers.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (Response due October 16, 2026); Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (Proposals due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (Proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants reclassification or review for coding accuracy by the jurisdictions posting these opportunities.
