This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left rib, percutaneous 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 0PP237Z

UNSPSC 85692216, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left rib, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a surgical procedure, yet state and local government solicitations tagged under this code are not purchasing surgical services aligned with that clinical description. Instead, the recent opportunities under this code span occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and municipal human resources departments. The work being solicited reflects administrative health services and benefits management rather than direct surgical procedures or tissue removal operations.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, total maximum compensation $750,000 over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 WSF locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, anticipated contract execution April 1, 2027); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows a consistent mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and actual procurement activity, signaling potential misclassification in state and local procurement systems.
