UNSPSC 85692703: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebra, 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 0PW437Z

UNSPSC 85692703 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted against it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving autologous tissue repair of the thoracic spine, but the six opportunities in the source record show no surgical procedures matching that scope. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing pools across multiple ancillary clinical specialties. None of these activities involve revision of autologous tissue substitutes or thoracic vertebral procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities appear to be tagged to this code in error or through a misconfiguration in the issuing jurisdiction's taxonomy mapping.

The issuing bodies posting against this code span cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with geographically dispersed posting dates in July through September 2026 and response deadlines in September and October 2026. Vendors evaluating this code should flag the systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC nominal scope and actual procurement activity, verify code accuracy with jurisdictions before pursuing, and consider whether the opportunities' true commodity codes (likely spanning medical services, staffing, and benefits administration) better reflect their service capabilities.
