UNSPSC 85692627: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, 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 0PP40KZ

UNSPSC 85692627 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal implant removal, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code designation cover independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or use of the code as a placeholder rather than a deliberate procurement of thoracic vertebra implant-removal services.

State and local procurement bodies posting opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that it currently does not represent a cohesive procurement market — the opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative and staffing health-system activity rather than surgical implant removal, and pursuit decisions should rely on category-specific qualification and operational fit rather than any unified code-level signal.
