UNSPSC 85691911: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left rib, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous 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 0PW207Z

UNSPSC 85691911 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left rib, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement benefits (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve tissue substitute revision procedures or orthopedic surgical implants; they address healthcare administration, occupational medicine, benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities in error or as a default placeholder by state and local procurement systems, rather than reflecting actual procurement intent around autologous tissue reconstruction.

Because the posted opportunities do not match the code's surgical-procedure scope, this code presents limited utility for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in tissue substitute products or related surgical services. Firms working in orthopedic or surgical implant markets should monitor separate UNSPSC codes more closely aligned with medical device procurement or surgical supplies to identify genuine opportunities in this sector.
