UNSPSC 85691909: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left rib, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left rib, 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 0PW20KZ

UNSPSC 85691909 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left rib, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitutes or surgical revision procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have tagged to broader healthcare and medical services solicitations without regard for clinical specificity, creating a fundamental mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual buying activity.

The recent opportunities show purchasing from city retirement boards, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and health consortia across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit management, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing actual tissue substitute products or surgical implant services.
