UNSPSC 85671609: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower bursa and ligament, 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 0MPY37Z

UNSPSC 85671609 "Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities on file show no activity aligned with the code's medical-procedure scope. The opportunities posted under this code instead reflect broader healthcare service and staffing procurement — occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; the actual recent solicitations being tagged to it cover administrative, occupational, and formulary-management health services with no surgical intervention component. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-service categories that do not fit the specific procedure definition.

Activity across the opportunities spans a diverse set of issuing bodies — state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant regional concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, with anticipated go-live April 1, 2027), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). Given the procedural mismatch between the code definition and the actual work being solicited, pursuit under this code warrants verification with the issuing bodies on their true commodity intent before bid strategy development.
