UNSPSC 85692010: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right scapula, 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 0PP50KZ

UNSPSC 85692010 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical tissue removal or scapular procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgery benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services. State and local governments are soliciting these services across diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' procurement divisions—but none of the work involves the specific orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The geographic footprint of tagged activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the taxonomy does not align with how state and local issuing bodies tag administrative health and occupational services work. Vendors evaluating opportunity flow under this code should treat the activity signal as unreliable for scapular surgery or tissue-substitute removal contracting and verify classification against direct solicitation scope before pursuing.
