This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper 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 0MPX37Z

UNSPSC 85673009 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from upper bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures matching the code's description. Instead, the opportunities are tagged with this code but solicit independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these services involve removal of autologous tissue from bursa or ligament tissue. The mismatch between the code's nominal medical procedure and the actual services being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurements that do not map precisely to other UNSPSC codes.

The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (due October 7, 2026, contract go-live targeted April 2027), and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions). Business development professionals should verify whether this code is the correct classifier for intended pursuits or whether a more specific code within the health services family would better reflect the actual scope.
