UNSPSC 85682558: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from skull, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from skull, 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 0NP007Z

UNSPSC 85682558 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from skull, open approach is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code does not involve surgical procedures or tissue grafting. The recent opportunities reveal a systematic mismatch: solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of neurosurgical implant removal. The code shows little relevant recent activity in actual surgical implant or tissue substitute procurement at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include a major city retirement office (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), a large municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026). The code's tagging appears to reflect administrative or clinical record classification rather than procurement substance, making it an unreliable predictor of actual work being solicited under this UNSPSC designation.
