UNSPSC 85691813: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right rib, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right rib, external 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 0PW1XKZ

UNSPSC 85691813 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right rib, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitutes or surgical revision procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding in source data or that this code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare service procurement when more specific codes are unavailable. State and local governments are issuing these solicitations through a mix of city retirement boards, county health systems, transit authorities, and municipal health departments, but the scope of work does not align with the tissue-substitute taxonomy that the code's name describes.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out programs with responses due October 7, 2026; and Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spend around $8.7 million and responses due April 9, 2026. Given the systematic divergence between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing tissue substitute or surgical revision work.
